       Am
T'aint no big t'ing
                 Em
To wait for the bell to ring
       Am
T'aint no big t'ing
                 Em
The toll of the bell
 
 Am            C
Aggravated - spare for days
   Em
I troll downtown the red light place
 Am                  C
Jump up bubble up - what's in store
 Em
Love is the drug and I need to score
 
 Am                        C
Showing out, showing out, hit and run
 Em
Boy meets girl where the beat goes on
 
 Bm
Stitched up tight, can't shake free
 Em
Love is the drug got a hook on me
 
 Am
Oh oh catch that buzz
 Em
Love is the drug I'm thinking of
 
 Bm
Oh oh can't you see
 Em
Love is the drug for me
 
Late that night I park my car
Stake my place in the 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 oh catch that buzz
Love is the drug I'm thinking of
 
Oh oh can't you see
Love is the drug got a hook in me
 
Oh oh catch that buzz
Love is the drug I'm thinking of
 
Oh oh can't you see
Love the drug for me
