I had to pay the toll
Cut loose on an uptown stroll
How do you need me so much ?
No amount of love could satisfy you
I had to cut the cheese
I’m outta luck so I thank you please
How do you need me so much?
No amount of love could satisfy you
Media man ain’t gonna give enough
Medicine man, you need to fill it up
How many drugs does it take to find something to do?
I made love ’til the breaking balls
How could you fake it when the cage, it calls?
How do you need a hotel
So big enough house for anybody else?
And I’m off the wall
So crazy in a vacant stall
Maybe you worry all the time
‘Cause no-one is to know what goes on between the lines
Any kind of love is a needle in the hay
When you get down they need me day to day
How many drugs does it take to find something to say?
Shake another baby, tell another lie
When you was gone I bawled the passerby
How many drugs does it take to get you out of my mind, yeah?
No amount of hate get faded on the shelf
Any kind of love finds anybody else
How many drugs does it take to find something to do
Everybody, it takes two
