When the night is black and the fires are out
When the reason why is the only doubt
That's how the love gets in
That's how the love gets in
When the engine's fine but the tyres are bare
When the bets are off but the odds were fair
That's how the love gets in
That's how the love gets in
Ooh Huhuhuhuhuhuhu Huhuhuhuhuhuhu
That's how the love gets in.

When your load is light but your feet are stone
When that old white rag makes your heart its home
When the road is clear but the bridge is closed
When you learn to dance but the music slows

Ooh Huhuhuhuhuhuhu Huhuhuhuhuhuhu
That's how the love gets in
Ooh Huhuhuhuhuhuhu Huhuhuhuhuhuhu
That's how the love gets in.

When the strings are new but the neck is bent
When your master plan was just an accident
When your heart is whole but your soul is shot
You're singing in tune but you're sure you're not
That's how the love gets in
That's how the love gets in
That's how the love gets in
That's how the love gets in
That's how the love gets in
That's how the love gets in
That's how the love gets in.
