The Medicine Song lyrics

[Verse 1:]

Danger eyes are no surprise

In staying wise to you

Shady walks

And midnight stalks

Have showed me what to do

Kept my cool

This ain't no fool

You think you're messing with

I know how to keep you 'round

Cause I know where you been

You think that

They really want just you

(Better think again, better think again)

I'm the only one knows what to do

'Cause you've been bad

Baby, oh so bad

Baby

And there's only one thing can be done

[Chorus:]

You need a little bit of this medicine

(Just a little touch up)

Mama's gonna give you some medicine

You need a little bit of this medicine

(Just a little touch up)

Mama's gonna give you some medicine

[Verse 2:]

Every time I think you're mine

You're up to somethin' new

I've done almost everything

To try to get to you

All my friends are just dead ends

In helpin' me along

I just keep on wondering

What am I doing wrong?

There is only one thing left to try

(Do it again, do it again)

On this cure

I'm sure I can rely

Cause you've been bad

Baby, oh so bad

And there's only one thing can be done

[Chorus:]

You need a little bit of this medicine

(Just a little bit touch up)

Mama's gonna give you some medicine

(Just a little touch up)

You need a little bit of this medicine

(Oh, my medicine)

Mama's gonna give you some medicine

(Mama's gonna give you some medicine)

Cause you've been bad, baby

Oh, you've been so bad

And there's only one thing can be done

[Bridge:]

Take your medicine

(Doctor's here)

Take your medicine

(The nurse is here)

Take your medicine

(Don't you wanna get cured?)

Take your medicine

(Take your medicine, baby)

Take your medicine

(Take your medicine, honey)

Take your medicine

(Oh, come on)

Take your medicine

(Go on and take it)

Take your medicine

(Go on and take it)

You gotta take it

If you wanna shake it

(Medicine)

You gotta take it

If you wanna shake it

(Medicine)

You gotta take

It if you wanna shake it

(Medicine)

You gotta take it

If you wanna shake it

You need a little bit of this medicine

(Mama's gonna give you some medicine)

Mama's gonna give you some medicine

(Hey, I got all the medicine)

You need a little bit of this medicine

(Mama's gonna give you a touch-up)

Mama's gonna give you some medicine

(Come on, baby, take your medicine)

You need a little bit of this medicine

(I got the cure)

Mama's gonna give you some medicine

(I got the cure)

You need a little bit of this medicine

(Mama's gonna give you some medicine)

Mama's gonna give you some medicine

(I got the cure)

You need a little bit of this medicine

(Oh, take your medicine)

Mama's gonna give you some medicine

(I got the cure, you know I do, OK)

You need a little bit of this medicine

(Oh, my medicine)

Mama's gonna give you some medicine
