[Verse 1]
Am C Em
T'ain't no big thing, to wait for the bell to ring,
Am G Em
T'ain't no big thing, the toll of the bell,
Am
Aggravated, spare for days,
C Em
I troll downtown, the red light place,
Am
Jump up, bubble up! What's in store?
G Em
Love is the drug, and I need to score!
[Verse 2]
Am
Showing out, showing out, hit and run,
C Em
Boy meets girl where the beat goes on,
Bm
Stitched up tight, can't shake free,
D Em
Love is the drug got a hook on me!
[Chorus]
Am
Oh, oh -oh, catch that buzz,
C Em
Love is the drug I'm thinking of,
Bm D E E
Oh, oh -oh, can't you see, love is the drug for me?

[Verse 3]
Am C Em
Late at night, I park my car, stake my place in the singles bar,
Am G Em
Face to face, toe to toe, heart to heart, as we hit the floor,
Am C Em
Lumber up, limbo down, the locked embrace, stumble 'round,
Am
I say, "Go!", she say, "Yes!"
G Em
Dim the lights ...you can guess the rest!
[Chorus]
Am C Em
Oh, oh -oh, catch that buzz, love is the drug I'm thinking of,
Am G Em
Oh, oh -oh, can't you see, love is the drug got a hook in me?
Am C Em
Oh, oh -oh, get that buzz, love is the drug I'm thinking of,
Am G Em
Oh, oh -oh, can't you see, love is the drug for me?
