Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I can get ridiculous
When I don't have you and I need my fix
Your perfume smells like licorice
Wanna pull your hair every time we kiss
I like your sweet lipstick
Your eyeliner, damn
You got me addicted and I'm a first timer
You got me good
[Verse 2]
Because love is like a drug
And you must be the plug
I can't get away, want you everyday
When you medicate, all the pain goes away
Because love is like a drug, yeah
[Verse 3]
And you must be the plug, yeah
[Verse 4]
Ain't nobody (No) envision this
If I'm hooked on you, you keep coming back
Like nicotine and cigarettes
Got nothing on you
You help me relax
It's unbelievable
How good you make me feel, damn
You should be illegal
Baby, my lips are sealed
I know it's real, I know the deal
[Verse 5]
Because love is like a drug
And you must be the plug
I can't get away, want you everyday
When you medicate, all the pain goes away
Because love is like a drug
[Verse 6]
And you must be the plug
'Cause I can't get enough
'Cause I can't get enough
