Your love is like bad medicine
Bad medicine is what I need
Ohoho, shake it up, just like bad medicine
There ain't no doctor that can cure my disease.

I ain't got a fever, got a permanent disease
And 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.

And I got all the symptoms count 'em one, two, three.

First you need (That's what you get for falling in love)
Then you bleed (You get a little and it's never enough)
And when you're on your knees (That's what you get for falling in love)
Now this boy's addicted 'cause your kiss is the drug, ohoho.

Your love is like bad medicine
Bad medicine is what I need
Ohoho, shake it up, just like bad medicine
There ain't no doctor that can cure my disease.

Bad, bad medicine.

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 that 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 and it's never enough)
And when you're on your knees (That's what you get for falling in love)
Now this boy's addicted 'cause your kiss is the drug, ohoho.

Your love is like bad medicine
Bad medicine is what I need
Ohoho, shake it up, just like bad medicine
So let's play doctor, baby, cure my disease.

Bad, bad medicine (That's what I want)
Bad, bad medicine.

I need a respirator 'cause I'm running out of breath
Well, you're an all night generator wrapped in stockings and a dress
When you find your medicine, you'll 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
Ohoho, shake it up, just like bad medicine
There ain't no doctor that can cure my disease.

Your love, like bad medicine
Bad medicine is what I need
Ohoho, shake it up, just like bad medicine
Your love's the potion that can cure my disease.

Bad, bad medicine (That's what I want)
Bad, bad medicine.

I gotta go, I gotta, I gotta go, I gotta, I gotta, I gotta
I gotta do it again, wait a minute, wait a minute
Hold on, I'm not done
One more time, with feeling
Come on!
Alright, help me out now.

Your love is like bad medicine
Bad medicine is what I need
Ohoho, shake it up just like bad medicine
Your got the potion that can cure my disease.

Your love, bad medicine
Your kiss is what I need
Your love, bad medicine.
