Hooked on love



I saw a twelve year old, he had a plastic bag

Another young man sucking on butane gas

I saw them reaching for a hand to hold

The next minute they were both stone cold



(chorus 1)

Don't abuse your body

Better use your brain

This generation's going insane

Better hooked on love

(Hooked on love)

That's a better drug

(Hooked on love)



(chorus 1)



I found a young girl lying in a pool of blood

She had the mark of needles and a lack of love

I saw her friends who told her 'She's a fool to try'

But never dream she was bound to die



(chorus 1)



And when the street sharp man next comes around

You better keep your head, you better stand your ground

No matter what the pressure, never make a deal

He might touch but he never can feel



(chorus 1)



And then I saw you cruising' through the wild west end

Can't change the habits of a lifetime debt

Now you're moving closer to the killing floor

You're half dead but you need to score



(chorus 2)

So don't get your kicks

For too high a price

The next time won't be so nice

Better hooked on love

(Hooked on love)

That's a better drug

(Hooked on love)



If you're feeling bored without a thing to do

You wanna be somebody then it's up to you

I ain't trying to tell you how to live your life

You might run but you never can hide



(chorus 1
