Lyrics:

I ain't got a fever, got a permanent disease
Take more than a doctor, prescribe a remedy
Awful lot of money, more than I need
Gonna take more than a shot to get the poison out of me
Hey, I got the symptoms, one, two, and three

(First you need)
This you need
(Then you bleed)
Then you bleed
(On your knees)
You're such a tease
This boy's addicted, your kiss is the drug

Your love is like is like bad medicine
Bad medicine is all I need
Your love is like bad medicine
Let's play doctor, cure my disease

I don't need no needle to be giving me a thrill
I don't need no anesthesia, or a nurse to bring a pill
I got a dirty down addiction, no, it doesn't leave a track
I've got a jones for some affection like a monkey on my back
Ain't no paramedic gonna save this heart attack

(First you need)
Yeah, you need
(Then you bleed)
I'm bleedin' all over
(On your knees)
Ah, baby, please
This boy's addicted, your kiss is the drug

Your love is like is like bad medicine
Bad medicine is all I need
Your love is like bad medicine
Let's play doctor, cure my disease

Put in the respirator, I'm running out of breath
You're an all-night generator in stockings and a dress
When you find your medicine, take what you can get
If there's something better, baby, oh, they haven't found it yet

Your love is like is like bad medicine
Bad medicine is all I need
Your love is like bad medicine
Let's play doctor, cure my disease
