The Medicine Song - Stephanie Mills

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)
