I had to pay the toll
cut loose on an uptown stroll
how do ya need me so much?
no amount of love can satisfy you
i had to cut the cheese
i'm out of luck so i thank you, please
how do you need me so much?
no amount of love can satisfy you
media man ain't gonna give enough
medicine man you need to fill it up
how many drugs does it take to find something to do?
i made love to the breaking balls
how could you fake it when the cajun calls?
how do you need a hotel
so big enough a house for anybody else
and i'm off the wall
so crazy in a vacant stall
maybe you worry all the time
but no one has to know what goes between the lines
any kind of love is a needle in the hay
when ya get down they need me day to day
how many drugs does it take to find something to say?
shake another baby tell another lie
when you was gone i bawled at passerby
how many drugs does it take to get you out of my mind, yeah?
no amount of hate get faded on the shelf
any kind of love finds anybody else
how many drugs does it take to find something to do?
everybody it takes two
