Mott The Hoople and Ian Hunter

Common Disease

(Ian Hunter)

Started sweating, got a twitch in my eye
My (?)starts pumping and my temperature's high
Uh oh here we go again
I haven't had it since I don't know when
Mr Physician I got terrible news
I got a dose of something that I just can't lose
Uh oh here we go again
Cute little lover boy see where it gets you then

To me the juice, get me on the loose
Oh no you know it's a common disease
I wanna move it before I groove
Oh no you know it's a common disease
I'm feeling trapped, lost at 45
I'm a Rock 'n Roll singer and I wanna get clap
But I know I know you know it's a common disease

Doctor Doctor you're a venerable man
I read the posters get me out of this jam
Uh oh here we go again
Like I was jumping when he said lots of pain
See I'm in love but I've blown it completely
I thought I was a stud but she netted me neatly
Uh oh here we go again
One more goner, what a shame, what a shame
I want a prescription, I got an addiction.
Oh no you know It's a common disease
Feel like a crook, get me off the hook
No no you know I got a common disease

Wanna play around with the boys in the band
I wanna play around but I'm a one woman man
But I know you know you know I got this common disease

It's a common disease
It's a common disease
Oh it's a common disease, oh it's a common disease
oh it's a common disease, yeah it's a common disease
oh it's a common disease, oh it's a common disease
yeah it's a common disease
