Bad Medicine
Sharon Doorson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

For the years I’m not stranger
Swimming down at me
I feel like you’re kind of danger
Moving over to me

Don’t run, stay still, don’t put up a fight
One fight, one touch could bring me to life
(Pre-)
I’m looking, he’s looking
I see it in his eyes
He craves the addiction
He’s my perfect tide

You can be my doctor tonight
Be my bad medicine
Refill my prescription tonight
I need my medicine
Will you be my doctor tonight?
So what you say? So what you say?
So what you say?

Down down down, down down down
Down down down, down down down
Down down down, down down down
Down down down, eh eh

Yo I feel I’m alive
Feels so good when you slide inside
You’re my feel that I like
Wanna overdose tonight

If I push it you close it
As I’m here fit
And I won’t leave til I get what I want

(Pre-)
I’m looking, he’s looking
I see it in his eyes
He craves the addiction
He’s my perfect tide

You can be my doctor tonight
Be my bad medicine
Refill my prescription tonight
I need my medicine
Will you be my doctor tonight?
So what you say? So what you say?
So what you say?

Down down down, down down down
Down down down, down down down
Down down down, down down down
Down down down, eh eh

Don’t need an intervention
Don’t need toxification
You’re the only drug I choose
No rehab meditation
Only intoxication
You’re the only drug I use

Down down down, down down down
Down down down, down down down




Down down down, down down down
Down down down, eh eh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Sharon Doorson's song Bad Medicine describe a woman who is attracted to a man who she considers a danger, but cannot resist. The song talks about the man being like a drug, a bad medicine- something that is bad for her but she craves it anyway. The woman wants to be with him and asks him to be her doctor for the night. She wants him to be her bad medicine and refill her prescription. The verse talks about how good it feels to be with him and how she wants to overdose on him.


The pre-chorus talks about how both the man and the woman can feel the mutual attraction between them. The man craves the same addiction and serves as the perfect tide for the woman. She wants him to be her doctor and take away all her pain. The chorus of the song repeats the lyrics for emphasis, driving home the message of how the man is the bad medicine the woman needs. The song talks about how the woman does not need any intervention or rehab but only this man to fulfill her desires.
