Shot Of Love lyrics

I need a shot of love
I need a shot of love.

Don`t need a shot of heroin to kill my disease
Don`t need a shot of turpentine, to bring me to my knees
Don`t need a shot of codeine to help me to repent
Don`t need a shot of whiskey, help me to be president

I need a shot of love
I need a shot of love

Doctor, can you hear me? I need some Medicaid
I seen the kingdoms of the world and it`s making me feel afraid
What I got ain`t painful, it`s just bound to kill me dead
Like the men that followed Jesus, they put a price upon His head

I need a shot of love
I need a shot of love

I don`t need no alibi when I`m spending time with you
I`ve heard all of them rumors and you have heard em too
Don`t show me no picture show or give me no book to read
It don`t satisfy the hurt inside nor the habit that it feeds

I need a shot of love
I need a shot of love

Why would I want to take your life?
You`ve only murdered my father, raped his wife
Tattooed my babies with a poison pen
Mocked my God, humiliated my friends

I don`t wanna be with nobody tonight, Veronica ain`t nowhere, Mavis just ain`t right
There`s a man that hates me, he`s swift, smooth and near
Am I supposed to set back and wait until he`s here?

I need a shot of love
I need a shot of love
