Love Is Drug
Carla Gugino and Oscar Isaac Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
to wait for the bell to ring
T'ain't no big t'ing
The toll of the bell
Aggravated, spare for days
I troll downtown the red light place
Love is the drug and I need to score
Showing out, showing out, hit and run
Boys meet girl, where the beat goes on
Stitched up tight, can't shake free
Love is the drug, got a hook on me
Oh oh catch that buzz
Love is the drug I'm thinking of
Oh oh can't you see
Love is the drug for me
Late that night I park my car
Stake my place in the singles bar
Face to face, toe to toe
Heart to heart as we hit the floor
Lumber up limbo down
The locked embrace, the stumble round
I say go, she say yes
Dim the lights, you can guess the rest
Oh oh catch that buzz
Love is the drug I'm thinking of
Oh oh can't you see
Love is the drug got a hook in me
Oh oh catch that buzz
Love is the drug I'm thinking of
Oh oh can't you see
Love is the drug for me
Oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh
Oh
Oh, love is, love is, love is the drug

It's not a big deal
to wait for the bell to ring
to wait for something to happen
The toll of the bell
The thing you're waiting for
Aggravated, spare for days
Frustrated, having nothing to do for days
I troll downtown the red light place
I wander around the city's sketchy areas
Jump up bubble up - what's in store
Getting excited - wondering what will happen next
Love is the drug and I need to score
Love is addicting and I crave it
Showing out, showing out, hit and run
Flirting and leaving quickly
Boys meet girl, where the beat goes on
Meeting someone new in a lively setting
Stitched up tight, can't shake free
Feeling trapped in love
Love is the drug, got a hook on me
Love has a hold on me
Oh oh catch that buzz
Get that feeling
Love is the drug I'm thinking of
Thinking about love and how addicting it is
Oh oh can't you see
Can't you understand
Love is the drug for me
I am addicted to love
Late that night I park my car
Late at night, I park my car
Stake my place in the singles bar
I sit down in a bar for single people
Face to face, toe to toe
Standing close to one another
Heart to heart as we hit the floor
We dance closely with our hearts beating
Lumber up limbo down
Dancing slowly and then quickly
The locked embrace, the stumble round
We are in a tight hug as we dance awkwardly
I say go, she say yes
I ask if she wants to go somewhere, and she says yes
Dim the lights, you can guess the rest
We turn down the lights, and you can guess what happens next
Oh oh, oh oh
Get ready
Oh oh, oh oh
Here we go
Oh oh, oh oh
Love is addicting
Oh oh, oh oh
Love is addicting
Oh
Oh
Oh, love is, love is, love is the drug
Love is like a drug

@TheCNRProject
I've been sleeping for so long but finally have had my "Oscar Isaac" awakening. I've seen him in so many things this past decade and only this year have I truly begun to appreciate what a special, multi-talented person he is.
