Had a bout of love

Got strung up

Had about enough of splittin'

How about that

They say it's better

To love and lose

Ain't tryin' to hear that

And that's just the thing

I've been burned before

So can you blame me

When I close the door?

One thing 'bout love

It may just burn you up

But it can't be outrun

It's coming for your blood

You gotta open the door up

And let it inside

You can't try to hide

Can't deny

I've got some time left

Can't deny

That time's worth spending

Can't deny

I've got this apple in my eye

Who's gonna take a bite out?

And that's just the thing

I've been burned before

But can you blame me

When I beg for more?

One thing 'bout love

It may just burn you up

But it can't be outrun

It's coming for your blood

You gotta open the door up

And let it inside

You can't try to hide

I'm gonna find me a woman

With bark and bite

That don't take no shit

And goddamn right

I'm gonna stand by her side

Cause she can stand on her own

And if she trembles

In the cold, dark night

I'm gonna sing her a lullaby

I'm gonna tend to her heart

She gonna carry me home

You gotta open the door up

And let it inside

You can't try to hide
