My father is a doctor, he never told me
About this problem that I've got
I've never had it, 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 running through my blood
And I can't bear not knowing if you even care
My mother is a nurse, she can't help me
Though she spent her life in the service of others
I told her 'bout 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 lurking
Is it me or is the medicine working?
Ooh, struck down by the plague of love
Sweet poison running through my blood
And I can't bear not knowing if you even care
Ooh, struck down by the plague of love
Sweet poison running through my blood
And I can't bear not knowing if you even care
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 running through my blood
And I can't bear not knowing if you even care
Ooh, struck down by the plague of love
Struck down by the plague of love
Struck down by the plague of love
Plague of love
