Antidote (revised version!) next song/previous song Well I was going to the doctor To tell the good news That a babe came along And blew away my birthday blues Was going to the doctor To give out the bad news That she'd run away to hide And wasn't giving any clues And it hurts, it hurts, it hurts so bad But I know what I need I don't need no antidote No doctor’s medication No damage limitation No prescription for frustration As far as I can go I'll be pushing out the boat But even overboard I don't need no antidote Well I went to my friend He said ‘how come you're so tense?.. You're usually indifferent With lots of common sense’ I said ‘I can't eat, I can't sleep I can't hide From these tortured hormones inside’ And it hurts, it hurts, it hurts so bad But I know what I need I don't need no antidote... I don't need no antidote Well I went to a preacher And said I got the faith I got the hat, the T shirt But no date I'm feeling more dead than I am alive Can you do a resurrection Cos I'm dying to jive And it hurts, and it hurts, and it hurts so bad But I know what I need I don't need no antidote... ©2007 Dave Ellis & Boo Howard song index
