Story Behind The Song
Equating love for a girl as an addiction and hopelessly trying to deal with it.
Song Description
Anxious rocker in a barely noticeable 6/4 time signiture with a blistering, yet melodic guitar/harmonica trade-off in the middle that just keeps building. The whole thing culminates in a vocal, guitar & harmonica fade that should force people to dance their butts off.

Lyrics
Girl, you're like a monkey - on my back
When I drive down your street - there's np turning back
Thought that I could handle - just a little bit
Then I needed more and more - I just couldn't quit
Girl I gotta jones for you, I gotta jones for you
I gotta jones for you - so bad
Yeah I gotta jones for you, I gotta jones for you
I gotta jones for you - so bad
I'm a love junkie - and I need to score
When I get the first taste - I keep wantin' more
Dangerous addiction - that I gotta kick
My body is a'shakin' and I'm feelin' sick
Girl I gotta jones for you, I gotta jones for you
I gotta jones for you - so bad
Yeah I gotta jones for you, I gotta jones for you
I gotta jones for you - so bad
Try to break the habit - I keep slidin' back
I need a twelve-step program - You're worse than crack
Gotta try to beat it - wonderin' where to start
I need a soul-transfusion - to heal my heart
Girl I gotta jones for you, I gotta jones for you
I gotta jones for you - so bad
Yeah I gotta jones for you, I gotta jones for you
I gotta jones for you - so bad
Repeat & Yada-yada-yada & out
