Hooked on Love Songtext

von Bananarama

Hey hey hey hey hey hey....
Hey hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey hey (yeah)
Hey hey hey hey hey....
Oh woh oh
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.
(Bridge one)
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)
Yeah ow!
Hey hey hey hey hey...
Hey hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey hey (yeah)
Hey hey hey hey hey

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

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
Ow!
Hey hey hey hey hey....
Hey hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey hey (yeah)
Hey hey hey hey hey....

And then I saw you cruising'
Though 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

So don't get your kicks
For too high a price
The next time
Won't be so nice

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.
