I ain't got a fever
Got a permanent disease
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
I got all the symptoms
Count'em 1,2,3
First you need that's what you get for falling in love
Then you bleed
You get a little but it's never enough
On your knees that's what you get for falling in love
And now this boy's addicted
Cause your kiss is the drug
Your love is like bad medicine
Bad medicine is what I need
Shake it up, just like bad medicine
There ain't no doctor that can cure my disease
I don't need no needle to be giving me a thrill
And I don't need no anesthesia
Or a nurse to bring a pill
I got a dirty down addiction
It doesn't leave a track
I got a jolt 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
On your knees that's what you get for falling in love
Now I'm addicted
And your kiss is the drug
Your love is like bad medicine
Bad medicine is what I need
Shake it up, just like bad medicine
So let's play doctor, baby
Cure my disease
Bad, bad medicine is what I need
Bad, bad medicine is what I need
I need a respirator
Cause I'm running out of breath
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
Your love is like bad medicine
Bad medicine is what I need
Shake it up, just like bad medicine
Your love's the potion that can cure my disease
