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

I got all the symptoms count 'em 1,2,3

First you 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 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
On your knees
That's what you get for falling in love
And now this boy's addicted
And 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
That's what I want
Bad, bad medicine
That's 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

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

Your love,
bad medicine
Is what I need,

Your love,
bad medicine.
