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
