Chemical Love

People goin' round

Tellin' others they are square

Around and round in circles

Is a ride that goes somewhere

All you need to fly

Is a heart dying to try

A chemical love

It's a chemical love

Ain't nothin to it

Gettin' cash when you are broke

Doin' lots of time

Is worth a little snort of coke

Infected needles

Can aid you in no time

Through chemical love

You've got a chemical love

Some people crave for physical love

Some people crave material love

Yet fewer crave for spiritual love

You've got a chemical jones

You've got a chemical love

Yeah, a chemical love

You've got chemical love

Some people find themselves hooked on the

weirdest things

That have nothing to do with living

God's gift to us is our life what's ours to him

If it's not our love, then nothing's given, given

Some people crave for physical love

Some people crave material love

Yet fewer crave for spiritual love

You've got a chemical jones

For a chemical love Yes it's true

The best things in life are free

Not material

Chemical or physically

Try it for yourself

You'll get a guaranteed high

From spiritual love, natural miracle drug

Some people crave for physical love

Some people crave material love

Yet fewer crave for spiritual love

You've got a chemical jones

You've got a chemical love

You've got a chemical love

For a chemical drug

Some people crave for physical love

Some people crave material love

Yet fewer crave for spiritual love

You need a spiritual jones

For that spiritual love

I'm talking to you

We all could do with spiritual jones

For some spiritual love
