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) publishing : |
