If there's a cure for this

I don't want it, don't want it

If there's a cure for this

I don't want it, I don't want it

Think about it all the time

Thinkin' only makes me smile

And say hey

I don't wanna shake it

Love the love you makin'

If there's a cure for this

I don't want it, I don't want it

If there's a remedy

I'll run from it, from it
