Bad Medicine
Bon Jovi; Jon Bon Jovi Lyrics

Your love is like bad medicine
The love I have for you is as thrilling, addictive, and dangerous as a bad medicine

Bad medicine is what I need, whoa
I need the rush and excitement of this unhealthy love or I won't survive

Shake it up just like bad medicine
Keep the passion and thrill coming, just like a bottle of bad medicine needs to be shaken before use

There ain't no doctor that can cure my disease
No one can fix the damage and addiction that your love has caused me

I ain't got a fever, got a permanent disease
My love addiction for you is not just a temporary feeling, it's a permanent disease that consumes me

And it'll take more than a doctor to prescribe a remedy
Even a doctor can't help me get rid of this addiction, it's too strong

I got lots of money but it isn't what I need
Although I have everything I could want, money can't give me the same rush and thrill as your love

Gonna take more than a shot to get this poison out of me
It will take more than just a shot or a quick fix to rid myself of this dangerous love addiction

And I got all the symptoms count 'em 1,2,3
I can see and feel all the negative symptoms of my love addiction for you

First you need, then you bleed, and when you're on your knees
Falling in love with you is a painful process, starting with intense need, heartbreak, and humility

Now, this boy's addicted 'cause your kiss is the drug, whoa
I am addicted to your kiss like a drug and can't resist the thrill it brings me

I don't need no needle to be givin' me a thrill
I don't need drugs to feel a thrilling high from you

And I don't need no anesthesia or a nurse to bring a pill
I don't need medical intervention to feel the high and rush your love gives me

I got a dirty down addiction that doesn't leave a track
My addiction for you is hidden and doesn't leave obvious signs of harm, but it's still dangerous

I got a jones for your affection like a monkey on my back
I have an insatiable craving for your love and affection, like an addict needs a fix

There ain't no paramedic gonna save this heart attack
Even in the case of a heart attack, no medical professional can save me from my love addiction

When you need, then you bleed, on your knees
Loving you may be painful, but I won't stop even if it leaves me on my knees and bleeding

So let's play doctor, baby
Let's indulge in our love addiction, and play the game like we're the only ones who understand

It's what I want. Bad, bad medicine
Even if it's bad for me, I want this thrill and excitement that your love brings me

I need a respirator 'cause I'm running out of breath
My addiction for you is taking over me and I can barely keep up

You're an all night generator wrapped in stockings and a dress
You are the source of the addictive thrill and excitement that powers me all night, only made better by what you wear

When you find your medicine, you take what you can get
When you find something that feels like a good fix, whether it's healthy or not, you cling to it

'Cause if there's something better baby well they haven't found it yet
Even if there's something healthier or better for me, I'm not willing to take the risk of giving up what feels good and familiar

You got the potion that can cure my disease
You may be the cause of my addiction, but you're also the only one who can cure my love sickness
