Only a fool believes it's better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all
So I don't wanna take that fall, it's a long, long, long way down

I'm hurt, love struck me down again, enticed me in and pulled the pin
Blew my tender heart sky high
Now in my pain, I'm asking why as I'm crying
Should I give it my last try or say goodbye

Love is a killer, a homicidal fiend
Love is a killer, it'll be the death of me
I got a target on my back for a cupid dressed in black
Love is a killer, it's killing me

Love, so sweetly beckoning I've seen your face, called your name
I tasted tears you cried
Lived in shadows in my mind, frozen here in time, don't leave me here to die

Love is a killer, a homicidal fiend
Love is a killer, it'll be the death of me
I got a target on my back for a cupid dressed in black
Love is a killer, it's killing me

You fascinate and yet frustrate, demand so much of me, yeah
I've had enough, it's tearing me up inside
Cross my heart, hope to survive
You got a smoking gun, well don't shoot me love, no!

You're a -

Love is a killer, no, love is a killer, no no
I got a target on my back for a cupid dressed in black
Love is a killer, it's killing me
