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
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
I  got all the symptoms count 'em 1,2,3
 First I need  (that's what you get for falling in love)
 then you bleed (you get a little but it's never enough)
 on your knees  (that's what you get for falling in love)
 and 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
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
 it doesn't leave a track
 I got a jone  for your affection
 like a monkey on my back
 there  ain't no paramedic
 gonna save this heart attack
 First I need  (that's what you get for falling in love)
 then you bleed (you get a little but it's never enough)
 on your knees  (that's what you get for falling in love)
 and 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
bad, bad medicine

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 thay 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
bad, bad medicine
bad, bad medicine
 This song is very cool!
