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'vе been burned before
But can you blamе 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
