Shot of Love Lyrics

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 love
I 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
