Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes – Love is the Drug

(B. Rush)

I’ve been calling for you, baby

I’ve been calling out your name

I’ve gone too long without

I think I’ve had enough

Got to get you back in my veins

I’ve been searching for you, girl

Obsessed all night and day

Gimme all I can take

Before my system brakes

Make this monkey go away

Ooo baby… I just can’t quit

I’m down on the mat, I’m all out of fight

You can pick me up girl, you can fix me up right

Love is the drug I got to have tonight

Love is the drug I got to have tonight

It causes me pleasure, it causes me pain

Give it to me, baby, again and again

Love is the drug I got to have tonight

Just one taste of sweet lips

Some sugar on my tongue

I feel the motor start

It’s cranking up my heart

On my way to oblivion

I tried to get off you, girl

But there’s no substitute

For staying up all night

High as a kite

In dreamland with you

Mmm, baby

Throw a little my way

It’s my only weakness, it’s my only kick

It’s the one habit, girl, I never will lick

Love is the drug I got to have tonight

Love is the drug I got to have tonight

It causes me pleasure, it causes me pain

Give it to me, baby, again and again

Love is the drug, I got to have tonight

Give it to me, baby

Give it to me, baby

Give it to me, girl

Yea, give it to me, baby

Love is the drug I got to have tonight

Love is the drug I got to have tonight

It causes me pleasure, it causes me pain

Give it to me, baby, again and again

Love is the drug I got to have tonight
