Come and I will tell you
The stories of love
Stories that come from the tears
Oh the tears of deception
The violent tongue
Tongues that throw daggers and spears
Baby, oh you know
You can't see everything in my heart
Darling, oh you know
It's not all that it seems
Lover, oh you know
I'm not the man that you need in this life
Mother, oh you know
Love is my sickest disease
Love is my sickest disease
Pull back the paper
Pull out your pens
Write it all down, baby, just to breathe
I'll remember your body
Your touch and your smell
Forgetting's much harder it seems
Baby, oh you know
You can't see everything
Oh, in this heart
Darling, yeah, you know
It's not all that it seems
Lover, oh you know
I'm not the man that you need in this live
Oh, mother, oh you know
Love is our sickest disease
Love is our sickest disease
Well, oh yeah yeah! Boy!
La-dee-da, la-dee-da, la-dee-da
Come and I will tell you
Stories of men
The naked and beaten manacle
And these lions and these tigers
They're guarding their gates
Only the bravest will go
Baby, oh I know
You can't see everything
Oh, in this heart
Lover, oh I know
It's not all that it seems
And mother, oh you know
I'm not the man that she needs in this life
And all of us know
Love is the sickest disease
Love is the sickest disease
Love is my sickest disease
