Love's a drowsing nymphWhen it wakes it starts to scream
Like some ungodly thing starts to scream
The heart's a wretched thing
Takes a sinking man and makes him swim
Takes a poor man, makes him king
Just to watch him sin
CHORUS:
So won't you save me, save me, save me from these things
Don't you know I'm sorry, I'm sorry, forgive me for what 
I did
Love's a drowsing nymph
Brings you dahlias, buys you gifts
Feeds you things that make you sick, until you're stiffed
The heart's a wretched thing
Shows the tongue-tied how to sing
That takes away their hearing, oh it's a wretched thing
CHORUS (x2)
