Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was in love with a girl on marijuana
She said, "If I'm not stoned, I don't wanna"
But she got so paranoid
Her place, I would avoid
I was in love with a girl on marijuana
[Verse 2]
I was in love with a girl on cocaine
She had everything goin' but a brain
We'd talk endlessly for hours
But by morning, it'd go sour
I was in love with a girl on cocaine
[Refrain]
Through ecstasy, crystal meth, and glue
I found no drug compares to you
All these pills, all this weed
I don't know just what I need
[Verse 3]
I was in love with a girl on LSD
She'd see things I'd never see
She broadened her perspective
Then I got more selective
I was in love with a girl on LSD
[Refrain]
Through ecstasy, crystal meth, and glue
I found no drug compares to you
All these pills, all this weed
I don't know what I need
[Verse 4]
I was in love with a girl who drank beer
Till bad breath and all, she disappeared
She was blowin' up real bad
But when she left, I was still sad
I was in love with a girl who drank beer
[Verse 5]
I was in love with a girl on China white
We were married for a year, one night
Her memory still lingers
'Cause I burned all my fingers
I was in love with a girl on China white
[Verse 6]
I was in love with a girl who drank coffee
There was times when I couldn't keep her off me
That caffeine got her goin'
But her ugly side was showin'
I was in love with a girl who drank coffee
[Verse 7]
I was in love with a girl who was a dealer
I was afraid somebody would come and steal her
We never used to fight
But the phone rang day and night
I was in love with a girl who was a dealer
[Outro]
Sure as hell
She got popped by the big guys
[Outro]
(I like that song)
