Hooked on love
|
|
I saw a twelve year old, he had a plastic bag
|
Another young man sucking on butane gas
|
I saw them reaching for a hand to hold
|
The next minute they were both stone cold
|
|
(chorus 1)
|
Don't abuse your body
|
Better use your brain
|
This generation's going insane
|
Better hooked on love
|
(Hooked on love)
|
That's a better drug
|
(Hooked on love)
|
|
(chorus 1)
|
|
I found a young girl lying in a pool of blood
|
She had the mark of needles and a lack of love
|
I saw her friends who told her 'She's a fool to try'
|
But never dream she was bound to die
|
|
(chorus 1)
|
|
And when the street sharp man next comes around
|
You better keep your head, you better stand your ground
|
No matter what the pressure, never make a deal
|
He might touch but he never can feel
|
|
(chorus 1)
|
|
And then I saw you cruising' through the wild west end
|
Can't change the habits of a lifetime debt
|
Now you're moving closer to the killing floor
|
You're half dead but you need to score
|
|
(chorus 2)
|
So don't get your kicks
|
For too high a price
|
The next time won't be so nice
|
Better hooked on love
|
(Hooked on love)
|
That's a better drug
|
(Hooked on love)
|
|
If you're feeling bored without a thing to do
|
You wanna be somebody then it's up to you
|
I ain't trying to tell you how to live your life
|
You might run but you never can hide
|
|
(chorus 1 & 2 ad lib)
