I Want a New Drug - Huey Lewis & The News

I break it down again for love I sing the songs you've been dreaming of And maybe now you'll hear what I'm saying Up all night while you're keeping me waiting You live your life like it's just begun You saw and fear it, now it's on the run And maybe love's no good for the taking Waiting in vain while you're keeping me waiting You're so high You're so high You're so high Why can't you fly? You live your life like it's just begun You say your threats, now it's on the run And maybe love's no good for the taking Waiting in vain while you're keeping me waiting I break it down again for love I sing these words you've been dreaming of And maybe now you'll hear what I'm saying Waiting man while you're keeping me waiting You're so high You're so high You're so high You're so high You're so high You're so high You're so high Why can't you fly?
