lyrics
I was in in love with a girl on Marijuana.
she said if i'm not stoned then I dont wanna.
She got so paranoid, that her place i would avoid.
I was in love with a girl on Marijuana.
I was in love with a girl on Cocaine.
She had everything going for her but her brain.
We'd sit and talk for hours, but by the morning,
it'd go sour.
I was in love with a girl on Cocaine.
Chorus:
Through Ecstasy, Crystal Meth and Glue,
I've found no drug that compares to you.
All these pills and all this weed, I don't know just what I need.
I was in love with a girl on LSD.
She'd see things that I'd never see.
It broadened her perspective, but then
I got more selective.
I was in love with a girl on LSD.
I was in love with a girl who drank Beer.
Till bad breath and all she disappeared.
She was blowin up real bad, but when she left
i still got sad.
Chorus.
I was in love with a girl on China White.
We got married for a year one night.
Her memory still lingers, cuz that bitch
burned all my fingers.
I was in love with a girl on China White.
I was in love with a girl who drank Coffee.
There were times when I couldnt keep her off me.
That caffeine got her goin' but her ugly side
was showin'...
I was in love with a girl who drank Coffee.
Chorus.
I was in love with a girl on Quaaludes.
She'd get mad when I'd make love to her boobs.
But what's a guy to do when he's gotta titty screw?
I was in love with a girl on Quaaludes.
I was in love with a girl who was a Dealer.
I was afraid that someone would come at
night and steal her.
Well we never used to fight but the goddam
phone'd ring day and nite.
I was in love with a girl who was a Dealer.
