I caught you knockin'
    at my cellar door
I love you, baby,
    can I have some more
Ooh, ooh, the damage done.

I hit the city and
    I lost my band
I watched the needle
    take another man
Gone, gone, the damage done.

I sing the song
    because I love the man
I know that some
    of you don't understand
Milk-blood
    to keep from running out.

I've seen the needle
    and the damage done
A little part of it in everyone
But every junkie's
    like a settin' sun.
