I ain't got a fever

Got a permanent disease

It'll take more than a doctor

To prescribe a remedy



I got lots of money

But it isn't what I need

Gonna take more than a shot

To get this poison out of me



I got all the symptoms count 'em 1,2,3



First you need

That's what you get for falling in love

Then you bleed

You get a little but it's never enough

On your knees

That's what you get for falling in love

And now this boy's addicted

'cause your kiss is the drug



Your love is like bad medicine

Bad medicine is what I need

Shake it up, just like bad medicine

There ain't no doctor that can cure my disease



Bad, bad medicine

Bad, bad medicine



I don't need no needle

To be diving me a thrill

And I don't need no anesthesia

Or a nurse to bring a pill



I got a dirty down addition

It doesn't leave a track

I got a jone for your affection

Like a money on my back



There ain't no paramedic

Gonna save this heart attack



When you need

That's what you get for falling in love

Then you bleed

You get a little but it's never enough

On your knees

That's what you get for falling in love

And now this boy's addicted

And your kiss is the drug



Your love is like bad medicine

Bad medicine is what I need

Shake it up, just like bad medicine

So let's play doctor, baby

Cure my disease



Bad, bad medicine

Bad, bad medicine



I need a respirator 'cause

I'm running out of breath

You're an all night generator

Wrapped is stockings and a dress



When you find your medicine

You take what you can get

Cause if there's something better baby

Well they haven't found it yet



Your love is like bad medicine

Bad medicine is what I need

Shake it up, just like bad medicine

There ain't no doctor that can cure my disease



Bad, bad medicine

Bad, bad medicine
