Origin of Love Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 gotta medicate myself up
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

[Verse 2]
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 gotta 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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

A lot of stuff happened in my personal life – something happened to my sister – and shortly after I felt ready.
