Just Jot It January – 2019 – Master and Song Lyric Sunday

Linda says the prompt for #JusJoJan today is suggested by Sadje and is “Master.”

We have learned this morning (or maybe last night if you are in a different part of the world) that Helen Vahdati has to take a break from hosting the #SLS group for health reasons. Fortunately for us, Jim Adams at A Unique Title for Me has volunteered to take over as MASTER of Ceremonies for the group. He has given us the prompt of “doctor/health/medicine” in honor of Helen.

My choice for today is Bad Medicine by Bon Jovi

Bad Medicine

Bon Jovi

Your love is like bad medicine
Bad medicine is what I need, whoa
Shake it up just like bad medicine
There ain’t no doctor that can cure my disease
Bad medicine

I ain’t got a fever, got a permanent disease
And it’ll take more than a doctor to prescribe a remedy
I got lots of money but it isn’t what I need
Gonna take more than a shot to get this poison out of me
And I got all the symptoms count ’em 1, 2,3
First you need, then you bleed, and when you’re on your knees
(That’s what you get for falling in love
You get a little but it’s never enough
That what you get for falling in love)
Now, this boy’s addicted ’cause your kiss is the drug, whoa

Your love is like bad medicine, bad medicine is what I need, whoa
Shake it up just like bad medicine
There ain’t no doctor that can cure my disease
Bad, bad medicine

I don’t need no needle to be givin’ me a thrill
And I don’t need no anesthesia or a nurse to bring a pill
I got a dirty down addiction that doesn’t leave a track
I got a jones for your affection like a monkey on my back
There ain’t no paramedic gonna save this heart attack
When you need, then you bleed, on you knees
(That’s what you get for falling in love
You get a little but it’s never enough
That what get for falling in love)
This boy’s addicted ’cause your kiss is the drug, whoa

Your love is like bad medicine, bad medicine is what I need, whoa
Shake it up just like bad medicine
So let’s play doctor, baby
Bad medicine

It’s what I want. Bad, bad medicine
Ow, it’s what I need
I need a respirator ’cause I’m running out of breath
You’re an all night generator wrapped in stockings and a dress
When you find your medicine you take what you can get
‘Cause if there’s something better baby well they hav’n’t found it yet
Whoa

Your love is like bad medicine, bad medicine is what I need, whoa
Shake it up just like bad medicine
There ain’t no doctor that can cure my disease

Your love is like bad medicine, bad medicine is what I need, whoa
Shake it up just like bad medicine
There ain’t no doctor that can cure my disease
Bad, bad medicine is what I want
Bad bad medicine. Oo baby, oo babe
I gotta go I gotta I gotta go I gotta medicine
I got I gotta do it again, wait a minute wait a minute
Hold on I’m not done. One more time. With feeling
Come on. All-right. Help me out now

Your love is like bad medicine, bad medicine is what I need, whoa
Shake it up just like bad medicine
There ain’t no doctor that can cure my disease

Your love is like bad medicine, bad medicine is what I need, whoa
Shake it up just like bad medicine
You got the potion that can cure my disease

My husband (not my MASTER even though we say he is Head of the Household for tax purposes) says that Bon Jovi is a chick band and perhaps that is true but we have seen him a few times in concert and I notice that the hubs can get up and dance and sing along with the songs pretty well so…

Yes Master…

Do you have a master in something? Like Bon Jovi? Hope you are not sick and need some good medicine! Get well soon, Helen.

Combined the two prompts for today so you don’t get bombarded by emails from me because I’m sure you have something better to do. Be sure to visit the other #JusJoJan and #SLS participants too!
