"Social Disease" lyrics

You can read it in the papers
In some places, it comes in thirty-two flavors
But you wouldn't tell no one your favorite
If you could

From the White House to the alleys
From the president down to Long Tall Sally
Can't live with it, but you'd die without it
Yes, you would

Señorita's in the kitchen, she's a fistful of dynamite
You call 911, but you can't stop the fun tonight, it's alright

You can't start a fire without a spark
But there's somethin' that I guarantee
You can't hide when infection starts
Because love is a social disease
Love is a social disease

Where you look, you can find it
Try to run, but you're always behind it
So you play hide-and-seek like a blind kid
'Til you're caught, yeah, you're caught

So you'll say, hey, that you had some
But they took it and held it for ransom
Were they tall, dark, skinny, or handsome?
You won't talk, nah

So you telephone your doctor just to see what pill to take
You know there's no prescription gonna wipe this one away, oh

You can't start a fire without a spark
But there's somethin' that I guarantee
You can't hide when infection starts
Because love is a social disease
Love is a social disease
Love is a social disease
Let the boys show you, baby

She's so full of high-grade octane
She could run the bullet train on 38 double-Ds
Now you know for sure, she knows the cure
To make any blind man see

You can't start a fire without a spark
But there's somethin' that I guarantee, yeah
You can't hide when infection starts
Because love is a social disease
Love is a social disease

You can't start a fire without a spark
But there's somethin' that I guarantee
You can't hide when infection starts
Because love is a social disease
Love is a social disease, baby
Love is a social disease

You're right
Nothing a shot can't cure
