Hooked On Love Lyrics - Bananarama

Hooked on love 

I saw a twelve year old, he had a plastic bag 

Another young man sucking on butane gas 

I saw them reaching for a hand to hold 

The next minute they were both stone cold 

Don't abuse your body 

Better use your brain 

This generation's going insane 

Better hooked on love 

(Better hooked on love) 

That's a better drug 

(Hooked on love)

So don't abuse your body 

Better use your brain 

This generation's going insane 

Better hooked on love 

(Better hooked on love) 

That's a better drug 

(Hooked on love) 

I found a young girl lying in a pool of blood 

She had the mark of needles and a lack of love 

I saw her friends who told her, she's a fool to try 

But never dream she was bound to die 

Don't abuse your body 

Better use your brain 

This generation's going insane 

Better hooked on love 

(Better hooked on love) 

That's a better drug 

(Hooked on love)

And when the street sharp man next comes around 

You better keep your head, you better stand your ground 

No matter what the pressure, never make a deal 

He might touch but he never can feel 

Don't abuse your body 

Better use your brain 

This generation's going insane 

Better hooked on love 

(Better hooked on love) 

That's a better drug 

(Hooked on love) 

Then I saw you cruising' through the wild West end 

You can't change the habits of a lifetime debt 

Now, you're moving closer to the killing floor 

You're half dead but you need to score 

So don't get your kicks 

For too high a price 

The next time won't be so nice 

Better hooked on love 

(Better hooked on love) 

That's a better drug 

(Hooked on love) 

If you're feeling bored without a thing to do 

You wanna be somebody then it's up to you 

I ain't trying to tell you how to live your life 

You might run but you never can hide 

So don't abuse your body 

Better use your brain 

This generation's going insane 

Better hooked on love 

(You better hooked on love) 

That's a better drug 

(Hooked on love) 

And don't get your kicks 

For too high a price 

The next time won't be so nice 

Better hooked on love 

(Better hooked on love) 

That's a better drug 

(Hooked on love) 

Don't abuse your body 

Better use your brain 

This generation's going insane 

Better hooked on love 

(Better hooked on love) 

That's a better drug 

(Hooked on love) 

Don't get your kicks 

For too high a price 

Next time won't be so nice
