I've been calling for you, baby
I've been calling out your name
I've gone too long without
I think I've had enough
Got to get you back in my veins
I've been searching for you, girl
Obsessed all night and day
Gimme all I can take
Before my system brakes
Make this monkey go away
Ooo baby... I just can't quit
I'm down on the mat, I'm all out of fight
You can pick me up girl, you can fix me up right
Love is the drug I got to have tonight
Love is the drug I got to have tonight
It causes me pleasure, it causes me pain
Give it to me, baby, again and again
Love is the drug I got to have tonight
Just one taste of sweet lips
Some sugar on my tongue
I feel the motor start
It's cranking up my heart
On my way to oblivion
I tried to get off you, girl
But there's no substitute
For staying up all night
High as a kite
In dreamland with you
Mmm, baby
Throw a little my way
It's my only weakness, it's my only kick
It's the one habit, girl, I never will lick
Love is the drug I got to have tonight
Love is the drug I got to have tonight
It causes me pleasure, it causes me pain
Give it to me, baby, again and again
Love is the drug, I got to have tonight
Give it to me, baby
Give it to me, baby
Give it to me, girl
Yea, give it to me, baby
Love is the drug I got to have tonight
Love is the drug I got to have tonight
It causes me pleasure, it causes me pain
Give it to me, baby, again and again
Love is the drug I got to have tonight
