Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I want a new drug, one that won't make me sick
One that won't make me crash my car
Or make me feel three feet thick
I want a new drug, one that won't hurt my head
One that won't make my mouth too dry
Or make my eyes too red
[Chorus]
One that won't make me nervous, wonderin' what to do
One that makes me feel like I feel when I'm with you
When I'm alone with you
[Verse 2]
I want a new drug, one that won't spill
One that don't cost too much or come in a pill
I want a new drug, one that won't go away
One that won't keep me up all night
One that won't make me sleep all day
[Chorus]
One that won't make me nervous, wonderin' what to do
One that makes me feel like I feel when I'm with you
When I'm alone with you
I'm alone with you, baby
[Verse 3]
I want a new drug, one that does what it should
One that won't make me feel too bad
One that won't make me feel too good
I want a new drug, one with no doubt
One that won't make me talk too much
Or make my face break out
[Chorus]
One that won't make me nervous, wonderin' what to do
One that makes me feel like I feel when I'm with you
I'm alone with you
I'm alone with you, yeah, yeah
