Story Behind The Song
I've been in the company of some of the world's most accomplished lovers, and this song is dedicated to one in particular. (I know it sounds cheesy, but I'm not some poet laureate, okay? Just a piano player, folks, just a piano player...)
Song Description
Umm, at least I think drug use is happy...see I'm not really into that. I just wanted to relate, metaphorically, the "high" associated with being in love, and drugs came to mind...can't imagine why (sex, drugs, R&R?)

Lyrics
I was lost and lonely, had no one and only
My heart of gold becoming stone
She had a look, I caught it
What she sold, I bought it
Gotta habit, gotta have it more and more
See I wake up every morning with the need
And I go to bed in hunger for the deed
And I tremble, shake, and shiver when I'm
without her coat
And I'll never, ever, ever want the antidote
No I don't want the antidote
Don't want the antidote
Your love is a drug and I've overdosed
But I don't want the antidote
Maybe a needle would be safer
Maybe cocaine could taper
My dependently addicted state of mind
Maybe a rope in noose
Maybe a Colt, put to good use
Maybe a cure I just don't care to find
See I wake up every morning....
Chorus
Man, if you think I need help
Buddy keep it to yourself
If you took one look you'd see
And get addicted just like me
Chorus
