"Bad Medicine" Lyrics

Your love is like bad medicine
Bad medicine is what I need
Shake it up, just like bad medicine
There ain't no doctor that can cure my disease

Bad medicine

I ain't got a fever, got a permanent disease
It'll take more than a doctor to prescribe a remedy
I got lots of money, but it isn't what I need
Gonna take more than a shot to get this poison out of me

And I got all the symptoms
Count 'em 1,2,3

First you need
(That's what you get for fallin' in love)
Then you bleed
(You get a little, but it's never enough)
And when you're on your knees
(That's what you get for falling in love)
Now this boy's addicted 'cause your kiss is the drug!

Your love is like bad medicine
Bad medicine is what I need
Shake it up, just like bad medicine
There ain't no doctor that can cure my disease

Bad, bad medicine

I don't need no needle to be giving me a thrill
And I don't need no anesthesia or a nurse to bring a pill
I got a dirty down addition that doesn't leave a track
I got a Jones for your affection like a monkey on my back
There ain't no paramedic gonna save this heart attack

When you need
(That's what you get for falling in love)
Then you bleed
(You get a little, but it's never enough)
And when you're on your knees
(That's what you get for falling in love)
Now this boy's addicted 'cause your kiss is the drug!

Your love is like bad medicine
Bad medicine is what I need
Shake it up, just like bad medicine
So let's play doctor, baby, cure my disease

Bad, bad medicine
Is what I want
Bad, bad medicine
Is what I need

I need a respirator 'cause I'm running out of breath
You're an all night generator wrapped in stockings and a dress
When you find your medicine, you take what you can get
'Cause if there's something better, baby, well they haven't found it yet

Your love is like bad medicine
Bad medicine is what I need
Shake it up, just like bad medicine
There ain't no doctor that can cure my disease

Your love
Bad medicine
Bad medicine is what I need
Shake it up, just like bad medicine...
