 (Don't let it get me, don't let it get me, etc.)

Well, it's Saturday night and I'm still free

 And I ain't never gonna be. Eaten by the monster of love

 It's hard to fight it off much more

 I hear it drooling by the door. Eaten by the monster of love

 It ain't a pretty sight to see the way it leaves 'em

 It chews them up and spits out creatures with those

Goo-gooy-ey eyes, sick sickly smiles, it just isn't right

And my father said "don't worry, son"

But look at him, he should have run. Eaten by the monster of love

Well, it's worse than war, it's worse than death

There ain't too many left who ain't been. Eaten by the monster of love

Buy a dog and that might help

Sometimes, though, a dog gets grabbed and eaten by the monster of love

Eaten by the monster of love

Let it huff, let it puff Eaten by the monster of love

I hate to gripe, but I just ain't the type

(Don't let it get me, don't let it get me, etc.)

I know some really good, good people

Overcome, and piece by piece they were Eaten by the monster of love

Sometimes it takes a nip at me

But I'm too quick to ever be eaten by the monster of love
