lyrics

[Verse 1]
I can't believe she took it that far
Love ain't' something we was fond of
So we lied about being who she could fall on or lean on
So he could get into the sheets for a week and that's weak form
Had to lie for it, he really wasn't tryin' die for it
But she think she found love now
That's how it begins and ends for the most part
He don't care about your heart

[Chorus]
He asked her what she wants now
And she said love
But he don't do drugs, baby
Love is a drug, baby
He asked her what she wants
And she said love
But he don't do drugs, baby
Love is a drug, baby

[Verse 2]
Don't go there darling 'cause you should know who you callin'
So you can know if the landin' is soft enough 'fore you fall in
Fallin' for stupid jiggas who see you just as a target
Don't target the middle man, get a man, put him in your plan
Not a fan of his simple dancin' when things when there's bigger than
Your emotions just breathe it in
It was a love, no never love
It wasn't real but made you tough, right? (Right?)
It made you tough, right?

[Bridge]
You like this drug too much, too much, too much
Say you like this drug too much, too much, too much
Say you like this drug too much, too much, too much
Say you like this drug too much, too much, too much

[Chorus]
He asked her what she wants now
And she said love
But he don't do drugs, baby
Love is a drug, baby
He asked her what she wants
And she said love
But he don't do drugs, baby
Love is a drug, baby

[Verse 3]
So pardon her when she says she don't wanna fall in love no more
'Cause every time she tried to get it, it was never enough, I'm sure
I'm sure she'll get her fix one day
She'll feel it on her lips, I say
She won't ever wanna leave, but for now, I think that you should let her be
'Cause he ain't tendin' to your needs

[Chorus]
He asked her what she wants now
And she said love
But he don't do drugs, baby
Love is a drug, baby
He asked her what she wants
And she said love
But he don't do drugs, baby
Love is a drug, baby
