Thread Name: ADD: Songs from Utah Phillips' first album
Subject: Lyr Add: You're A Drug - Utah Phillips
You're a Drug
Whenever I was feeling blue dear
Whenever I was feeling ill
I'd drag myself along to you dear
But you was nothing but a pill

You're a drug on the market of my heart, dear
You gave all my dreams a heart attack
Your label is misleading
Your instructions ain't worth reading
Your love was just a monkey on my back

You don't know how it pains to leave you
I can't follow your prescription any more
But though you poison me I know dear
You still got the bottle I adore

You were just a patent cure, dear
You took me in and fooled me from the start
Well you cost me my last dime
You was snake oil all the time
You're a drug on the market of my heart
