Katie Melua - Plague of Love lyrics

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
