[Verse 1]
People going 'round
Telling others they're square
Around and round in circles
Is a ride that goes somewhere
All you need to fly
Is a heart dying to try
A chemical love
It's a chemical love
Ain't nothing to it
Getting cash when you are broke
Doing lots of time
Is worth a little snort of coke
Infected needles can aid you in no time
Through chemical love
You've got a chemical love
[Chorus]
Some people crave for physical love
Some people crave material love
Yet fewer crave for spiritual love
You've got a chemical jones
You've got a chemical love
Yeah, a chemical love
You've got chemical love
[Verse 2]
Some people find themselves hooked on the weirdest things
That have nothing to do with living
God's gift to us is our life what's ours to him
If it's not our love, then nothing's given, given
[Chorus]
Some people crave for physical love
Some people crave material love
Yet fewer crave for spiritual love
You've got a chemical jones
A chemical love
[Verse 3]
Yes it's true the best things in life are free
Not material, Chemical or physically
Try it for yourself, you'll get a guaranteed high
From spiritual love, natural miracle drug
[Chorus]
Some people crave for physical love
Some people crave material love
Yet fewer crave for spiritual love
You've got a chemical jones
You've got a chemical love
You've got a chemical love
A chemical love
Some people crave for physical love
Some people crave material love
Yet fewer crave for spiritual love
You need a spiritual jones
For that spiritual love
[Outro]
I'm talking to you
We all could do with a spiritual jones
For some spiritual love
People going 'round
Telling others they're square
Around and round in circles
Is a ride that goes somewhere
All you need to fly
Is a heart dying to try
A chemical love
It's a chemical love
Ain't nothing to it
Getting cash when you are broke
Doing lots of time
Is worth a little snort of coke
Infected needles can aid you in no time
Through chemical love
You've got a chemical love
[Chorus]
Some people crave for physical love
Some people crave material love
Yet fewer crave for spiritual love
You've got a chemical jones
You've got a chemical love
Yeah, a chemical love
You've got chemical love
[Verse 2]
Some people find themselves hooked on the weirdest things
That have nothing to do with living
God's gift to us is our life what's ours to him
If it's not our love, then nothing's given, given
[Chorus]
Some people crave for physical love
Some people crave material love
Yet fewer crave for spiritual love
You've got a chemical jones
A chemical love
[Verse 3]
Yes it's true the best things in life are free
Not material, Chemical or physically
Try it for yourself, you'll get a guaranteed high
From spiritual love, natural miracle drug
[Chorus]
Some people crave for physical love
Some people crave material love
Yet fewer crave for spiritual love
You've got a chemical jones
You've got a chemical love
You've got a chemical love
A chemical love
Some people crave for physical love
Some people crave material love
Yet fewer crave for spiritual love
You need a spiritual jones
For that spiritual love
[Outro]
I'm talking to you
We all could do with a spiritual jones
For some spiritual love
