Plague Of Love

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 breath, 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 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 Ooh Ooh Ooh Plague of love Ooh --- Plague of Love - Katie Melua
