Love Is The Drug

(album: Warm Leatherette - 1980)

't ain't no big thing
To wait for the bell to ring
't ain't no big thing, the toll of the bell

Aggravated, spare for days
I troll down town the redlight place
Jump up, bubble up
What's in store
Love is the drug and I need to score

Showing out, showing out, hit and run
Boy meets girl where the beat goes on
Stitched up tight, can't shake free
Love is the drug got a hook on me
Oh, catch that buzz
Love is the drug I'm thinking of
Oh, can't you see, love is the drug for me

Oooh, oooh

Late at night I parked my car
Staked my place in the singles bar
Face to face, toe to toe
Heart to heart as we hit the floor

Lumbered up, limbo down
The locked embrace, stumble round
I say go, she say yes
Dim the lights, you can guess the rest

Oh, catch the buzz
Love is the drug I'm thinking of
Oh, can't you see
Love is the drug got a hook on me
Oh, catch the buzz
Love is the drug I'm thinking of
Oh, can't you see, love is the drug for me

Oooh, oooh
Oooh, oooh
...
Oooh, oooh

Love is, love is, love is the drug
