The door is locked
I have the key the door is locked
You can't come in without the word
Your magic word I'll turn the key
Works better than cupid's arrow
You know the word don't say in vain
Please, want it seriously said
When I know you really mean it
I'll turn my key, open the door
Door to my heart and shoot your dart
Let Cupid's Arrow sting my heart

Lyrics (sing along?) --
Is Your Love in Vain?
Do you love me
Or are you just extending good will?
Do you need me half as bad as you say
Or are you just feeling guilt?
I've been burned before and I know the score
So you won't hear me complain
Will I be able to count on you
Or is your love in vain?
Are you so fast that you cannot see
That I must have solitude?
When I am in the darkness
Why must you intrude?
Do you know my world, do you know my kind
Or must I explain?
Will you let me be myself
Or is your love in vain?
Well, I've been to the mountain and I've been in the wind
I've been in and out of happiness
I have dined with kings, I've been offered wings
And I've never been too impressed
All right, I'll take a chance
I will fall in love with you
If I'm a fool you can have the night
You can have the morning too
Can you cook and sew, make flowers grow
Do you understand my pain?
Are you willing to risk it all
Or is your love in vain?
Can you cook and sew, make flowers grow
Do you understand my pain?
Are you willing to risk it all
Or is your love in vain?
Thank you

Looks like Arlene's got the accurate aim going on. :-)
