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
