I lost guard to love,

Yes! I was conquered by his army.

How weak I became before him,

Losing my strength to fight back.

Love sneaked into my heart like a ghost,

Without permission; He make himself feel at home.

How weak I became before him.

I became a slave to love,

Losing my sense every day.

Yeah, I thought I was strong,

Little did I know I was wrong.

How could the word "I love you" had prison break of my mouth that night?

I guess maybe I was under his spell.

Love sneaked into my heart like a ghost,

Without permission he make himself feel at home.

How weak I became before him.

I became a slave to love,

Losing my sense every day.

If I've seen love coming far away,

Maybe I'd have reinforced my heart against his army,

But love is a warrior no one can conquer.

He is a ghost that needs no permission to enter a man's heart.

I lose guard against love,

Here I am as his prisoner.

Love sneaked into my heart like a ghost,

Without permission he make himself feel at home.

How weak I became before him.

I became a slave to love,

Losing my sense every day.

I LOST GUARD
