Your love is like bad medicine
Bad medicine is what I need, whoa
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
And 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 one, two, three
First 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, whoa

Your love is like bad medicine, bad medicine is what I need, whoa
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 givin' me a thrill
And I don't need no anesthesia or a nurse to bring a pill
I got a dirty down addiction 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, whoa

Your love is like bad medicine, bad medicine is what I need, whoa
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
Ow, it's what I need

I need a respirator 'cause I'm running out of breath
But 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
Whoa

Your love is like bad medicine, bad medicine is what I need, whoa
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, whoa
Shake it up just like bad medicine
Your love's the potion that can cure my disease
Bad, bad medicine
Is what I want
Bad, bad medicine
Ooh baby, ooh baby
Bad, bad medicine (I gotta, I gotta, I gotta, I gotta)
I gotta, I gotta
I gotta do it again, wait a minute, wait a minute
Hold on
I'm not done
One more time
With feeling
Come on
Help me out now

Your love is like bad medicine
Bad medicine is what I need, whoa
Shake it up just like bad medicine
You got the potion that can cure my disease

Your love, bad medicine
Your kiss is what I need
Your love, bad medicine
