My father is a doctor, he never told me about this problem that I've got, I've never had 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 fever whenever you're near, oh God it's suddenly clear Ooh, struck down by the plague of love, sweet poison on a thing of love And I can't bear not knowing if we'll even catch My mother is a nurse, she can't help me Though she spent her life in the service of others I told her about my pain, but she was busy Downstairs serving dinner for my brother Now I can't get out of bed, I've got this crazy notion in my head I hear a ghost in my bedroom locking, is it me or is the medicine working? Ooh, struck down by the plague of love, sweet poison on a thing of love And I can't bear not knowing if we'll even catch Ooh, struck down by the plague of love, sweet poison on a thing of love And I can't bear not knowing if we'll even catch Maybe nothing can save me, so come a little closer I've got a secret just for you Ooh, struck down by the plague of love, sweet poison on a thing of love And I can't bear not knowing if we'll even catch Ooh, struck down by the plague of love, struck down by the plague of love Struck down by the plague of love Ooh Ooh Ooh, plague of love
