E
You can read it in the papers
In some places it comes in thirty two flavors
         G
But you wouldn't tell no one
      A                E
Your favorite, if you could

From the White House to the alleys
From the President down to Long Tall Sally
Can't live with it but
You'll die without it, yes you would

     A
Senorita's in the kitchen
         G              E
She's a fistful of dynamite
         A
You call 911 but you
 G                    B               G
Can't stop the fun tonite, it's alright

Chorus:
E
You can't start a fire without a spark
But there's something that I guarantee
You can't hide when infection starts
         G         D        E
Because love is a social disease
 G         D        E
Love is a social disease

Where you look you can find it
Try to run but you're always behind it
So you play hide and seek like a blind kid
Until you're caught - yeah you're caught
So you'll say that you had some
But they took it and held it for ransom
Were they tall, dark, skinny or
Handsome - you won't talk

So you telephone your doctor
Just to see what pill to take
You know there's no prescription
Going to wipe this one away

Chorus

Love is a social disease

            A
So full of high grade octane
  G                               E
She could run the bullet train on 38 double d's
          A                 G
Now you know for sure, you know the cure
    B                    G
To make any blind man see

Chorus

You can't start a fire without a spark
But there's something that I guarantee
You can't hide when infection starts
Because love is a social disease
Love is a social disease, baby,
love is a social disease.
