“The Perfect Drug”


I am missing something in this life.
The pain hurts like a stab with a knife.
I am missing a girl that is true.
And the person I’m missing is you.
You are the perfect drug.

Every night, I stay awake.
Love’s the drug that people take.
I need some of that true drug.
And you are the perfect drug.

Without you, I always fear the pain.
Without you, I always stress the strain.
I always get hurt without a gain.

Now you see that I truly need you.
To get you, there’s nothing I won’t do.
You are the perfect drug.

Take me with you;
I need someone to be there with me.
Take me with you;
Do not leave me here to be lonely.
Take me with you;
Please don’t leave for all eternity.
Take me with you...

Without you, everything falls apart.
You’re the drug that will always help me.
Without you, my life will never start.
You’re the perfect drug that is to be.

Other real drugs hurt my body.
You’re the only drug that works for me.
You could make my life so perfectly.
You could,
but you won’t.

Take me with you.
I’ll be with you.
Your love is a life drug.
You are the perfect drug.

You are,
the perfect drug.
