Sparks › Lyrics › Eaten By the Monster of Love

Don't let it get me, don't let it get me
Don't let it get me, don't let it get me
Don't let it get me, don't let it get me

Well, it's Saturday night and I'm still free
And I ain't never gonna be
Eaten by the monster of love
(Don't let it get me)

It's hard to fight it off much more
I hear it drooling by the door
Eaten by the monster of love
(Don't let it get me)

It ain't a pretty sight to see the way it leaves 'em
(Don't let it get me)
It chews them up and spits out creatures with those
Goo-gooy-ey eyes, sick sickly smiles, it just isn't right

And my father said "Don't worry, son"
But look at him, he should have run
Eaten by the monster of love

Don't let it get me, don't let it get me
Don't let it get me, don't let it get me

Well, it's worse than war, it's worse than death
There ain't too many left who ain't been
Eaten by the monster of love
(Don't let it get me)

Buy a dog and that might help, sometimes
Though, a dog gets grabbed
And eaten by the monster of love
(Don't let it get me)

It ain't a pretty sight to see the way it leaves 'em
(Don't let it get me)
It chews them up and spits out creatures with those
Goo-gooy-ey eyes, sick sickly smiles, it just isn't right

Eaten by the monster of love
(Don't let it get me)
Let it huff, let it puff
(Don't let it get me)
Eaten by the monster of love
(Don't let it get me)
I hate to gripe, but I just ain't the type

Don't let it get me, don't let it get me
(Love love love, love love love)
Don't let it get me, don't let it get me
(Love love love, love love love)

Don't let it get me, don't let it get me
(Love love love, love love love)
Don't let it get me, don't let it get me
(Love love love, love love love)

Well, I know some really good, good people
Overcome and piece by piece they were
Eaten by the monster of love
(Don't let it get me)

And sometimes it takes a nip at me
But I'm too quick to ever be
Eaten by the monster of love

Don't let it get me, don't let it get me
(Love love love, love love love)
Don't let it get me, don't let it get me
(Love love love, love love love)

Well, eaten by the monster of love
(Don't let it get me)
Eaten by the monster of love
(Don't let it get me)
Eaten by the monster of love
(Don't let it get me)
Eaten by the monster of love

Don't let it get me, don't let it get me
(Love love love, love love love)
Don't let it get me, don't let it get me
(Love love love, love love love)

Don't let it get me, don't let it get me
(Love love love, love love love)
Don't let it get me, don't let it get me
(Love love love, love love love)
