  • Love is a drug, and you are my cigarette
    Love is addiction, and you are my Nicorette
    Love is a drug, like chocolate, like cigarettes
    I'm feeling sick, I've got to medicate myself
    Ah
    I want your love, don't try and stop me
    Can't get enough, still hanging on me
    Your guilty heart, don't let it break you
    And if you pray, well, no one's gonna save you

    Like every one that your fear
    And every thing you hold dear
    Even the book in your pocket
    You are the sun and the light
    You are the freedom I fight
    God will do nothing to stop it
    The origin is you
    You're the origin of love

    Love is a drug, and you are my cigarette
    Love is addiction, and you are my Nicorette
    Love is a drug, like chocolate, like cigarettes
    I'm feeling sick, I've got to medicate myself
    Well, if God is a priest, and the devil a slut
    Well, that's a reason for nothing
    Like every word that you preach
    Like every word that you teach
    With every rule that you breach
    You know the origin is you

    From the air I breathe, to the love I need
    Only thing I know
    You're the origin of love
    From the God above, to the one I love
    Only thing that's true, the origin is you
    From the air I breathe, to the love I need
    Only thing I know, you're the origin of love
    From the God above, to the one I love
    Only thing that's true, the origin is you

    Padre nostrum, deus machismo
    Padre deus, deus machismo
    Dione madre, deus machismo
    Deus esso sancto spirito
    Like stupid Adam and Eve
    They found their love in a tree
    God didn't think they deserved it
    He taught them hate, taught them pride
    Gave them a leaf, made them hide
    Let's push the stories aside
    You know the origin is you

    From the air I breathe, to the love I need
    Only thing I know, you're the origin of love
    From the God above, to the one I love
    Only thing that's true, the origin is you
    From the air I breathe, to the love I need
    Only thing I know, you're the origin of love
    From the God above, to the one I love
    Only thing that's true, the origin is you

    Some love's a pill, and some love is a candy cane
    It tastes so sweet, but leaves you feeling sick with pain
    Your love is air, I breathe it in around me
    Don't know it's there, but without it I'm drowning

    You're the origin of love
    Ay-oh-ay-oh-ah
    You're the origin of love, love, love, love, love
    (Thank God that you found me)
    You're the origin of love, love, love, love, love
    (Thank God that you found me)
    You're the origin of love, love, love, love, love
    (Thank God that you found me)
    You're the origin of love, love, love, love, love
    (Thank God that you found me)
    You're the origin of love, love, love, love, love
    (Thank God that you found me)
    You're the origin of love, love, love, love, love
    Thank God that you found me
    Thank God that you found me
    Thank God that you found me Writer/s: Michael Holbrook Penniman, Nicholas George Littlemore, Paul Steele
