Lady Gaga – LoveDrug Lyrics

Lyrics

(Need your love, your love drug, your love drug)

(Need your love drug)

River in my eyes, I've got a poem in my throat

I hear the music and it takes me by surprise

Pictures in my mind, they come on faster than they go

Another round, hopin' this one will make me blind

I know this time

I won't escape these thoughts in my head

I need you tonight

But I'm gonna fight the feelin' instead

I don't wanna feel, I don't wanna cry

So I'm gonna dance until I feel alright

I just need a dose of the right stuff

I just need a hit of your love drug

I don't wanna feel, I don't wanna cry

So I'm gonna dance until I feel alright

I just need a dose of the right stuff

I just need a hit of your love drug

Your love drug

Thought we'd last a lifetime, when I'm mumblin' alone

I taste the last words that you spoke to me like wine

My heart is in a bind, if I could bear it on my own

I wouldn't try so hard to numb what's left behind

I know this time

I won't escape these thoughts that I dread

I need you tonight

But I'm gonna fight the feelin' instead

I don't wanna feel, I don't wanna cry

So I'm gonna dance until I feel alright

I just need a dose of the right stuff

I just need a hit of your love drug

I don't wanna feel, I don't wanna cry

So I'm gonna dance until I feel alright

I just need a dose of the right stuff

I just need a hit of your love drug

Love drug

Need your love, your love drug, your love drug

Need your love drug, need your love drug

Love drug

I just need a dose of the right stuff

I just need a hit of your love drug
