Verse 1
When you kiss me my heart beats so fast,
Like a locomotive running full blast.
I could go into cardiac arrest.
Baby, I’m scared you’re gonna love me to death
Verse 2
One look in your eyes, my knees go weak.
I could fall down the stairs; be the end of me.
You squeeze me so tight, I can’t catch my breath.
Honey, I swear you’re gonna love me to death.
Chorus 1
You’re gonna love me to death. Don’t get too close.
You’re gonna love me to death. You’re a lethal dose.
You’re gonna love me to death. I know that for sure.
I got to hold on till science can come up with a cure.
Verse 3
My doctor says you make my blood pressure rise.
Says he’s never seen anyone’s go so high.
If this keeps up I ain’t got many days left.
His diagnosis is you’re gonna love me to death.
Chorus 2
You’re gonna love me to death. Don’t get too close.
You’re gonna love me to death. You’re a lethal dose.
You’re gonna love me to death. I tell you it’s true.
The FDA should put a warning label on you.
Verse 4
I’m tempting fate just to phone ya.
‘Cause the chills you give me I could catch pneumonia.
But if I go to my eternal rest
I’ll have a smile on my face ‘cause you loved me to death.
And on my tombstone these words will forever be etched
“Here Lies a Man Who Was Loved to Death”
And should I meet St. Peter he’ll say “Son, you’ve been blessed.
‘Cause if you gotta go you might as well be loved to death. (3X)
