Shot
Of Love- Bob Dylan
I need a shot of love,
i need a shot of love.
Don't need a shot of heroin to kill my disease
Don't need a shot of turpentine, only bring me to my knees
Don't need a shot of codeine to help me to repent
Don't need a shot of whisky, help me be president
I need a shot of love, i need a shot of love.
Doctor can you hear me, i need some medic aid
I seen the kingdoms of the world an' it's makin' me feel afraid
What i got ain't painful but it's bound to kill me dead
Like the men that followed jesus when they put a price upon his head
I need a shot of love, i need a shot of love.
I don't need no alibi when i'm spendin' time with you
I've heard all of them rumors an' you have heard 'em too
Don't show me no picture show or give no books to read
It don't satisfy the hurt inside nor the habit that it feeds
I need a shot of love, i need a shot of love.
Why would i want to take my life?
You've only murdered my father, raped his wife
Tattooed my babies with a poison pen
Mocked my god, humiliated my friends
I need a shot of love, i need a shot of love.
Don't wanna be with nobody tonight
Veronica not here, Mavis just ain't right
There's a man that hates me an' he's swift, smooth an' near
Am i supposed to sit back an' wait until he's here?
I need a shot of love, i need a shot of love.
What makes the wind wanna blow tonight
Don't feel like crossin' the street an' my car ain't actin' right
Called home, everybody seemed to have moved away
My conscience is beginnin' to bother me today
I need a shot of love, i need a shot of love.
