Dosage
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.
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
I used to be just like you
Doing a little more than what I thought I could handle
(Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)
Take a page from this well-worn book
A fun night can lead to sex and scandal
Dosage is everything, it hurts you or it helps
Go take your medicine and call me when you're well
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Thanks for the drink but I think you're over-served
I'd rather roll you a joint with weed the bartender sold me
(Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)
Good things can be too much or not enough
I reach for words dear henry told me
Dosage is everything (dosage is everything)
It hurts you or it helps (hurts you or it helps)
Go take your medicine (take your medicine)
And call me when you're well (call me, call me)
You sing like a bird and I'm sure you'll go far
But I can't help you, sittin' drunk at this bar
I haven't been back here in thirty-two years
Now that I'm older and I'm facing my fear
Did we ever run together?
