The Bill Bowen Band - Love Is Just Another Drug (At Fulsome Prison) Lyrics

I fell in love with a girl named Mary Jane
She took my breath away and lightened up my pain
But I knew when she didn't remember my name
She wasn't all that into me

Soon I fell hard for her friend Kay
A scent so special we blew the Milky Way
But we didn't smell so great at sunrise the next day
When our big pupils helped us see

Molly and Crystal were so impure
And their idea of bump and grinding left me sore
I was grateful they showed me to door
But I needed someone to explain

Why sugar, chocolate, and caffeine
May be small comforts and the gateway to the scene
Where Gin and Brandy were so spirited and mean
They led me back to Mary Jane

So I sobered up and came around
Meditation, yoga, new age nature sounds
I learned it's not the girls but the other way around
As I looked closely in the mirror

I could see why every new love ends the same
From the addiction to the withdrawal to the shame
Love doesn't care if it's some zero-sum game
The evidence was getting clearer

Cause I don't know anyone who's clean
From phones to cars to bars plastered with flat screens
The serotonin spikes and hits of dopamine
I learned were features not a bug

I learned love's a chemical romance
But sometimes the oxytocin doesn't want to dance
And you'll have to weigh the dose to give yourself a chance
'Cause love is just another drug

Yeah love is just another drug
And it's the dose you have to be mindful of
Don't let it use you when you could just use a hug
Cause love is just another drug
Yeah don't let us use when you just could use a hug
Cause love is just another drug
