Na-na-na-ooh

How much, baby?
How much is too much?
It's not enough (It's not enough)
I wanna get locked away now
Forget about time and space
Oh, that's the way I like it (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

That's the way I like it (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

From the bed to the floor, leave the lights on
I wanna see what you do to me
How you kissin' on, how you touchin' on
Put your kissin' on, your touchin' all your lovin' on me

My body's shaking and you're the high I'm craving
You're the drug I'm choosing, can't stop using
You're my medicine
Sweet temptation, oh my
Salvation, goodbye
I keep caving, there's no saving
You're my medicine

Ooh-ah-la, ooh-ah-la-ooh, la-la-ah

Don't touch me, ooh, like a lady
Your touch is too much
It's not too rough (It's not too rough)
Talk dirty and I'll obey now
I'll do anything that you say
Oh, that's the way you like it (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
That's the way I like it (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

From the bed to the floor, leave the lights on
I wanna see what you do to me
How you kissin' on, how you touchin' on
Put your kissin' on, your touchin' all your lovin' on me

My body's shaking and you're the high I'm craving
You're the drug I'm choosing, can't stop using
You're my medicine
Sweet temptation, oh my
Salvation, goodbye
I keep caving, there's no saving
You're my medicine

How long can this high last?
Let's leave the lights on (lights on, lights on)
I want you to see what you do to me (ahh)
How long can this high last?
Let's leave the lights on (lights on, lights on)
I want you to see what you do to me (ahh)

My body's shaking (my body's shaking) and you're the high I'm craving (I am craving)
You're the drug I'm choosing, can't stop using
You're my medicine
Sweet temptation (sweet temptation), oh my
Salvation (salvation), goodbye
I keep caving, there's no saving
You're my medicine

Body's shaking and you're the high I'm craving (medicine)
Drug I'm choosing, can't stop using
You're my medicine (you're my medicine)
Sweet temptation, oh my
Salvation, goodbye (medicine)
I keep caving, there's no saving

You're my medicine (you're my medicine)
My medicine
