Don't let it get me,

don't let it get me, oww

Don't let it get me,

don't let it get me, oww

don't let it get me, oww

don't let it get me, oww

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

and I ain't never gonna be

eaten by the monster of love

(Don't let it get me)

It's hard to fight it off much more

I can hear it droolin' by the door

eaten by the monster of love

(Don't let it get me)

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

(Don't let it get me)

It chews 'em up and spits out creatures with those goo-gooey eyes

sick-sickly smiles

It just ain't right

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

But look at him, he shoulda' run

eaten by the monster of love

Don't let it get me,

don't let it get me, oww.

don't let it get me, oww.

don't let it get me, oww

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

(Don't let it get me)

Buy a dog and that might help

but sometimes though a dog gets rabid

eaten by the monster of love

(Don't let it get me)

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

(Don't let it get me)

It chews 'em up and spits out creatures with those goo-gooey eyes

sick-sickly smiles

It just ain't right

Eaten by the monster of love

(Don't let it get me)

let it huff, let it puff

(Don't let it get me)

Eaten by the monster of love

(Don't let it get me)

I hate to gripe

but I just ain't the type

Don't let it get me,

don't let it get me, oww

Don't let it get me,

don't let it get me, oww

Don't let it get me,

don't let it get me, oww.

Don't let it get me,

don't let it get me, oww.

Well, I know some really good good people

overcome and piece by piece they were

eaten by the monster of love

(Don't let it get me)

Sometimes it takes a nip at me

but I'm too quick to ever be

eaten by the monster of love

Don't let it get me,

don't let it get me, oww.

don't let it get me, oww.

don't let it get me, oww.

Eaten by the monster of love

(Don't let it get me)

Eaten by the monster of love

(Don't let it get me)

Eaten by the monster of love

(Don't let it get me)
