Back Yard Party Blues

Some say love is a drug
yeah, I've heard that one before
snorting your body off the living room floor
and I cannot escape you now
my back's up against the door
and you just swallowed the key, like you've done
so many times before

oh yeah, oh yeah

The food fights we've created
in the kitchens where we meet
A reason to touch you,
exchange some body heat
the places that your girlfriend claims to be her own
but you know damn well your body

your body is my home
oh yeah, oh yeah

I woke up to your mouth in mid dream hazes
you stood over my body
as if you're mapping out the spaces
of places you long to be
areas you've yet to touch

Have I told you lately
I want you so much

oh yeah, oh yeah

Some say love is a drug
yeah, I've heard that one before
snorting your body
off the living room floor
and I cannot escape you now
my back's up against the door
and you just swallowed the key, like you've done
so many times before

oh yeah, oh yeah
so many times before
oh yeah, oh yeah
so many times before

and it's hard to hold on
when you're holding on to her
so I'll back track to the places that I knew
but the feelings and the meanings will never be the same
now that I've been touched by you

touched by you
