Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You say that love is a chemical
Feel it down to the soul
What I really, really want to know
Is if my mind's in control
[Verse 2]
I'm so high
Love is a chemical
I'm so high
Love is a chemical
Start it, start it again
[Verse 3]
A random thought
A memory
A tidal wave until I'm on my knees
A sudden change in everything
Don't know what I would even feel while I'm free
You find love just a fantasy
Beautiful and ugly as a life can be
I don't lose any sleep honestly
[Verse 4]
I'm so high
Love is a chemical
I'm so high
Love is a chemical
Start it, start it again
[Verse 5]
I can feel it minute by minute by day
I don't want it running all night this way
Why you got to get it on my mind this way?
[Verse 6]
Saying what I feel
What can I tell you? Don't know
Why you have to be like that?
Alligator teardrops fall
Love is a, love is a chemical
But it wears off like a chemical
I don't need anyone to turn me on
I don't need anyone, no
[Verse 7]
And when the feeling is over
There's no explanation
Shock to the system
Infatuation
Shake like a flower
Strange affirmation
Crown of a nation
Start it, start it again
[Verse 8]
I'm so high
Saying what I feel
What can I tell you? Don't know
Why you have to be like that?
Alligator teardrops fall
I'm so high
Love is a, love is a chemical
But it wears off like a chemical
I don't need anyone to turn me on
I don't need anyone no
Start it again
