My father is a doctor, he never told me
about this problem that I've got.
I've never had it, it feels awful
it must be something that I caught

I can't breathe, I can't eat
I hallucinate in my sleep
I get a feeling whenever you're near
oh god it's suddenly clear:

Oooh, [bad word] down by the plague of love
sweet [bad word] through my blood
and i can't bear not knowing if you even care...

My mother is a nurse,
she she can't help me -
though she spent a life
in the service of others.

I told her 'bout my pain,
but she was busy,
downstairs serving dinner
for my brother.

I hear a ghost in my bedroom lurking:
is it me or is the medicine working?

Oooh, [bad word] down by the plague of love
sweet [bad word] through my blood
and I can't bear not knowing if you even care...

Oooh, [bad word] down by the plague of love
sweet [bad word] through my blood
and I can't bear not knowing if you even care...

Maybe,
nothing can save me, [bad word] a little closer,
I've got a secret just for you.

Oooh, [bad word] down by the plague of love
sweet [bad word] through my blood
and I can't bear not knowing if you even care...

Oooh, [bad word] down by the plague of love
Oooh, [bad word] down by the plague of love
Oooh, [bad word] down by the plague of love

Ooh-oo-oo-o-o-ooh
Ooh-oo-oo-o-o-ooh
Ooh-oo-oo-o-o-ooh
Plague of lo-ove.
