Gradual Addiction

Lyrics

Gradual Addiction © 2015 David Charles/ Hank Thomas She's oh, so bad, She's oh, so bad, She's oh, so bad for me It started with a lick of the tequila from her lips As she leaned into a passionate kiss Seven Margaritas later, hotter than a radiator Like a vice she locked me tight in her grip But she's oh so bad for me, This drivin' thirst won't let me be Ain't no casual affliction, She's a gradual addiction And she's oh, so bad for me Lead- Short one Bridge I was leavin' work at one just to grab another little taste But I never get enough, Lord I can't keep up this pace Like a junkie needs to main-line, I been walkin' on that fine line Between love and insanity Cause she's oh, so bad for me Longer lead here --- I been getting' home at three, Lord I love this Misery But if I don't get some rest, It's gonna be the death of me It's a tragic situation, all this lovin' and libation Cause she's oh, so bad for me She's oh, so bad, She's oh, so bad, She's oh, so bad for me Ain't no casual affliction, She's a gradual addiction And she's oh, so bad , she's oh, so bad, She's oh so bad
