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 feeling whenever you're near
oh god it's suddenly clear:


Oooh, 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 she can't help me -
though she spent a life
in the service of others.


I told her 'bout my pain,
but she was busy,

downstairs serving dinner
for my brother.


I hear a ghost in my bedroom lurking:
is it me or is the medicine working?


Oooh, struck down by the plague of love
sweet poison running through my blood
and I can't bear not knowing if you even care...


Oooh, 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.


Oooh, struck down by the plague of love
sweet poison running through my blood

and I can't bear not knowing if you even care...

Oooh, struck down by the plague of love


Oooh, struck down by the plague of love


Oooh, struck down by the plague of love

Ooh-oo-oo-o-o-ooh


Ooh-oo-oo-o-o-ooh


Ooh-oo-oo-o-o-ooh

Plague of lo-ove.
