Here we go again

Please just tell me where your head's at
I wanna be with you and that's a fact
Please just tell me if you get that
'Cause I'm about to have a heart attack
I fell pretty hard and I knew I would
My expectations hurt me more than you could

And you can take that to the bank
I need a little time to think, and
I think I need another drink
Tried to swim but I only could sink

God, I need a doctor 'cause I'm in love, oh-oh
Somebody shoulda stopped her, my mind is numb, oh-oh
I love to waste my time on wasted guys
I just wonder if my heart has had enough
God, I need a doctor 'cause I'm in love, oh-oh-oh

I'm feeling lovesick
You're like a drug and I can't quit
I'm feeling lovesick
You're like a drug that I can't quit, yeah

My heart's beating out of my chest
'Cause you're not like the rest
At least I tell myself that before, but
All of the time I invest
Coulda saved me some stress
I need to get the fuck outta my head

Enter at your own risk (you don't want it, baby?)
Don't even explore this
Got no space in my life for all your bullshit
Don't let the door hit where the good Lord split

I don't care about no ice on a wrist or the nice way you kiss
Don't wanna give it to ya just for you to write off the list
I don't really give a fuck about the money in your bank account
Just tryna find some real love and really make it count

God, I need a doctor 'cause I'm in love, oh-oh
Somebody shoulda stopped her, my mind is numb, oh-oh
I love to waste my time on wasted guys
I just wonder if my heart has had enough
God, I need a doctor 'cause I'm in love, oh-oh-oh

I'm feeling lovesick
You're like a drug and I can't quit
I'm feeling lovesick
You're like a drug that I can't quit, yeah

If you don't like it straight then we can bend it backwards
I'm pretty flexible like that so please don't flatter me
And if you wanna date me, better say that in exact words
'Cause I'm not out here chasing people who ain't chasing after me

I'm feeling, I'm feeling lovesick
You're like a drug and I can't quit




You got a bitch feeling lovesick
You're like a drug and I can't quit, yeah, hm
