Lyrics The Medicine Song - Stephanie Mills

The Medicine Song

Danger eyes are no surprise
In staying wise to you
Shady walks and midnight stalks
Have showed me what to do Kept my cool, this ain’t no fool
You think you’re messing with
I know how to keep you 'round
'Cause I know where you been
You think that they really want just you
Better think again, better think again
I’m the only one knows what to do
'Cause you’ve been bad, baby, oh, so bad, baby
And there’s only one thing can be done
You need a little bit of this medicine (Just a little touch up)
Mama’s gonna give you some medicine (Ooh, ooh)
You need a little bit of this medicine (Just a little touch up)
Mama’s gonna give you some medicine
Every time I think you’re mine
You’re up to something new
I’ve done almost everything
To try to get to you
All my friends are just dead ends
In helping me alone
I just keep on wondering
What am I doing wrong
There is only (Oh) one thing left to try (Do it again, do it again)
On this cure I’m sure I can rely
'Cause you’ve been bad, baby, oh, so bad
And there’s only one thing can be done
You need a little bit of this medicine (Just a little bit touch up)
Mama’s gonna give you some medicine (Just a little touch up)
You need a little bit of this medicine (Oh, my medicine)
Mama’s gonna give you some medicine (Mama's gonna give you some medicine)
'Cause you’ve been bad, baby, oh, you’ve been so bad
And there’s only one thing can be done
Take your medicine (The doctor’s here)
Take your medicine (The nurse is here)
Take your medicine (Don't you wanna get cured)
Take your medicine (Take your medicine, baby)
Take your medicine (Take your medicine, honey)
Take your medicine (Oh, come on)
Take your medicine (Go on and take it)
Take your medicine (Go on and take it)
You gotta take if you wanna shake it Medicine
You gotta take if you wanna shake it Medicine
You gotta take if you wanna shake it Medicine
You gotta take if you wanna shake it Medicine
You need a little bit of this medicine (Mama's gonna give you some medicine)
Mama’s gonna give you some medicine (Hey, I got all the medicine)
You need a little bit of this medicine (Mama's gonna give you a touch up)
Mama’s gonna give you some medicine (Come on, baby, take your medicine)
You need a little bit of this medicine (I got the cure)
Mama’s gonna give you some medicine (I got the cure)
You need a little bit of this medicine (Mama's gonna give you some medicine)
Mama’s gonna give you some medicine (I got the cure)
You need a little bit of this medicine (Oh, take your medicine)
Mama’s gonna give you some medicine (I got the cure, you know I do, okay)
You need a little bit of this medicine (Oh, my medicine)
Mama’s gonna give you some medicine (Mama's gonna give you some medicine)
You need a little bit of this medicine (I got the cure, just a little touch up)
Mama’s gonna give you some medicine (Just a little-little-little-little-little
touch up)
You need a little bit of this medicine (Ooh… ooh…)
Mama’s gonna give you some medicine (Oh, mama’s gonna give you some medicine)
You need a little bit of this medicine (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Mama’s gonna give you some medicine (I got the cure, I got the cure)
You need a little bit of this medicine (Oh…)
