[Intro]
Oh-oh
[Verse 1]
I want a new drug
One that won't make me sick
One that won't make me crash my car
Or make me feel three feet thick
I want a new drug
One that won't hurt my head
One that won't make my mouth too dry
Or make my eyes too red
[Chorus]
One that won't make me nervous
Wondering what to do
One that makes me feel like I feel when I'm with you
When I'm alone with you
[Verse 2]
I want a new drug
One that won't spill
One that don't cost too much
Or come in a pill
I want a new drug
One that won't go away
One that won't keep me up all night
One that won't make me sleep all day
[Chorus]
One that won't make me nervous
Wondering what to do
One that makes me feel like I feel when I'm with you
When I'm alone with you
[Post-Chorus]
I'm alone with you, baby
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
I want a new drug
One that does what it should
One that won't make me feel too bad
One that won't make me feel too good
I want a new drug
One with no doubt
One that won't make me talk too much
Or make my face break out
[Chorus]
One that won't make me nervous
Wondering what to do
One that makes me feel like I feel when I'm with you
I'm alone with you
[Post-Chorus]
I'm alone with you, yeah-yeah
