Chemical
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You say love is a chemical
Feel it down to the soul
Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow
What I really really want to know
Is if my mind's in control
Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow
I'm so high
Love is a chemical
I'm so high
Love is a chemical
Start it
Start it again
A random thought, a memory
A tidal wave, a manatee
I'm on my knees
A sudden change in everything
Don't know when I was leaving
Feeling well and free
You find love just a fantasy
Beautiful and ugly as a life can be
I don't lose any sleep honestly
Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow
I'm so high
Love is a chemical
I'm so high
Love is a chemical
Start it
Start it again
Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow
Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow
I can feel it minute by minute by day
I don't want it running all night this way
Why'd you got to get it on my mind this way?
Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow
Saying what I feel
What can I tell you don't know?
Why'd you have to be like that?
Alligator teardrops fall
Love is a, love is a chemical
Burning wears off like a chemical
I don't need anyone to turn me on
I don't need anyone, no
And when the feeling is over
There's no explanation
Shock to the system
Infatuation
Shake like a flower
Strange affirmation
Crown of a nation
Start it
Start it again
I'm so high
Saying what I feel
What can I tell you don't know?
Why'd you have to be like that?
Alligator teardrops fall
Love is a, love is a chemical
Burning wears off like a chemical
I don't need anyone to turn me on
I don't need anyone no
Start it again
