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 breathe 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 a 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

(Plague of love)
