Lyrics to Love Is The Drug (Live 1982)

Lyrics to the song Love Is The Drug (Live 1982) as recorded by Roxy Music.

(Ferry/MacKay)

T'ain't no big thing  to wait for the bell to ring
T'ain't no big thing the toll of the bell

Aggravated, spare for days I troll downtown the red light place
Jump up bubble up, what's in store love is the drug and I need to score

Showing out, showing out, hit and run
Boy meets girl, where the beat goes on
Stitched up tight, can't shake free
Love is the drug, got a hook on me

Oh catch that buzz love is the drug I'm thinking of
Oh can't you see?
Love is the drug for me

Oh oh

Late that night I park my car stake my place in a singles bar
Face to face, toe to toe heart to heart as we hit the floor
Lumber up, limbo down the locked embrace, the stumble round
I say go, she say yes dim the lights, you can guess the rest

Oh catch that buzz love is the drug I'm thinking of
Oh can't you see love is the drug got a hook in me

Oh catch that buzz love is the drug I'm thinking of
Oh can't you see love is the drug for me

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Love is, love is, love is the drug
