Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tain't no big thing
To wait for the bell to ring
Tain't no big thing
The toll of the bell
[Verse 2]
Aggravated, spare for days
Stroll downtown in the red light place
Jump up, bubble up
What's in store?
Love is the drug and I need to score
Showin' up, showin' up
Hit and run
Boy meets girl and the beat goes on
Stitched up tight
Can't stay free
Love is the drug
Got a hook on me
[Verse 3]
Oh, catch that buzz
Love is the drug that I'm thinkin' of
Yeah, can't you see?
Love is the drug for me
[Verse 4]
Tain't no big thing
To wait for the bell to ring
Tain't no big thing
The toll of the bell
[Verse 5]
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
Limbo up, limbo down
Locked embrace, stumble round
I say, "Go"
He say, "Yes"
Dim the lights
You can guess the rest
[Verse 6]
Yeah, catch that buzz
Love is the drug that I'm thinkin' of
Baby, can't you see
Love is the drug for me
[Verse 7]
Ain't no big thing
To wait for the bell to ring
Ain't no big thing
The toll of the bell
[Verse 8]
Aggravated, spare for days
I stroll downtown in the red light place
Jump up, bubble up
What's in store?
Love is the drug and I need to score
Showin' up, showin' up
Hit and run
The boy meets girl and the beat goes on
Stitched up tight
Can't stay free
Love is the drug
Got a hook on me
[Verse 9]
Oh, catch their buzz
Love is the drug that I'm thinkin' of
Oh, can't you see
Love is the drug for me
[Verse 10]
Baby, got to catch that buzz
Love is the drug that I'm thinkin' of
Oh, can't you see
Love is the drug for me
[Verse 11]
Oh, I got to catch that buzz
Love is the drug that I'm thinkin' of
Baby, can't you see
Love is the drug for me
[Verse 12]
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
[Verse 13]
Oh, oh
[Verse 14]
Gimme, baby
Got to have that drug
Got to have that buzz
Got to have that buzz
Got to have that drug
I got to have that buzz
Got to have that drug
Got to have that buzz
I got to have that buzz
I got to have that drug
Got to have that drug
Got to have that buzz
Got to have that drug
Got to have that drug
I got to have that drug
I got to have that buzz
[Verse 15]
Got to have it
Got to have it
Got to have it
Got to have it
Got to have it
Got to have it
Got to have it
Got to have it
Got to have it
Got to have it
Got to have it
Got to have it
[Verse 16]
Got to have it
Got to have it (Baby)
Got to have it
Got to have it (Gimme, gimme, baby)
Have it, uh (Gimme, gimme, baby)
Got to have that drug (Gimme, gimme, baby)
Have that drug (Give me more)
Got to have that drug (Give me more, give me more)
Got to have that drug (Give me more, give me more)
Got to have that drug (Give me more, give me more)
(Give me more, give me more, give me more) Give me more
