Shot of Love

I need a shot of love

I need a shot of loveDon't need a shot of heroin to kill my disease

Don't need a shot of turpentine, only bring me to my knees

Don't need a shot of codeine to help me to repent

Don't need a shot of whiskey, help me be presidentI need a shot of love

I need a shot of loveDoctor, can you hear me? I need some Medicaid

I seen the kingdoms of the world and it's makin' me feel afraid

What I got ain't painful, it's just bound to kill me dead

Like the men that followed Jesus when they put a price upon His headI need a shot of love

I need a shot of loveI don't need no alibi when I'm spending time with you

I've heard all of them rumors and you have heard 'em too

Don't show me no picture show or give me no book to read

It don't satisfy the hurt inside nor the habit that it feedsI need a shot of love

I need a shot of loveWhy would I want to take your life?

You've only murdered my father, raped his wife

Tattooed my babies with a poison pen

Mocked my God, humiliated my friendsI need a shot of love

I need a shot of loveDon't wanna be with nobody tonight

Veronica not here, Mavis just ain't right

There's a man that hates me and he's swift, smooth and near

Am I supposed to set back and wait until he's here?I need a shot of love

I need a shot of loveWhat makes the wind wanna blow tonight?

Don't even feel like crossing the street and my car ain't actin' right

Called home, everybody seemed to have moved away

My conscience is beginning to bother me todayI need a shot of love

I need a shot of loveI need a shot of love

I need a shot of love

I need a shot of love

I need a shot of loveIf you're a doctor

I need a shot of love
