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.
