Medicine Lyrics
[Verse 1: Shakira, Blake Shelton, Both]
And I feel like I'm losing my mind
Banging my head up against the wall
Staring at nothing 'cause I can't sleep at night
Can't make it stop, yeah, I think too much
What do I do? Falling apart
I need a shock straight to my heart
No one would want to be in my shoes right now, oh
[Chorus: Shakira, Blake Shelton, Both]
I don't reach for the bottle of whiskey (Straight on the rocks)
But you won't see me popping the pills (P-p-p-popping the pills)
'Cause if I want the pain to go away
In a second, make it fade
You're the only thing that will
You're my medicine, medicine
My m-m-medicine, medicine
My m-m-medicine
[Verse 2: Blake Shelton, Shakira, Both]
You know you're an expert at complicating things
(That's how I'm wired, believe me, it's no fun)
But you make the war seem like such an easy game
(Kiss me and my arguments come undone)
Down in the trenches, you are the white flag
Make me surrender, want you so bad
Baby, don't stop what you started
Don't ever be done, oh
And I feel like I'm losing my mind
Banging my head up against the wall
Staring at nothing 'cause I can't sleep at night
Can't make it stop, yeah, I think too much
What do I do? Falling apart
I need a shock straight to my heart
No one would want to be in my shoes right now, oh
[Chorus: Shakira, Blake Shelton, Both]
I don't reach for the bottle of whiskey (Straight on the rocks)
But you won't see me popping the pills (P-p-p-popping the pills)
'Cause if I want the pain to go away
In a second, make it fade
You're the only thing that will
You're my medicine, medicine
My m-m-medicine, medicine
My m-m-medicine
[Verse 2: Blake Shelton, Shakira, Both]
You know you're an expert at complicating things
(That's how I'm wired, believe me, it's no fun)
But you make the war seem like such an easy game
(Kiss me and my arguments come undone)
Down in the trenches, you are the white flag
Make me surrender, want you so bad
Baby, don't stop what you started
Don't ever be done, oh
[Chorus: Both, Blake Shelton]
I don't reach for the bottle of whiskey
(Straight on the rocks)
But you won't see me popping the pills
(P-p-popping the pills)
'Cause if I want the pain to go away
In a second, make it fade
You're the only thing that will
You're my medicine, medicine
My m-m-medicine, medicine
My m-m-medicine
[Bridge: Shakira, Both]
You make it all better, better
You make me feel home
You make it all better, better
You make me feel home
[Chorus: Shakira, Both]
I don't reach for the bottle of whiskey
No, you won't see me popping the pills
'Cause if I want the pain to go away
In a second, make it fade
You're the only thing that will
You're my m-m-medicine, medicine
My m-m-medicine, medicine
My m-m-medicine
I don't reach for the bottle of whiskey
(Straight on the rocks)
But you won't see me popping the pills
(P-p-popping the pills)
'Cause if I want the pain to go away
In a second, make it fade
You're the only thing that will
You're my medicine, medicine
My m-m-medicine, medicine
My m-m-medicine
[Bridge: Shakira, Both]
You make it all better, better
You make me feel home
You make it all better, better
You make me feel home
[Chorus: Shakira, Both]
I don't reach for the bottle of whiskey
No, you won't see me popping the pills
'Cause if I want the pain to go away
In a second, make it fade
You're the only thing that will
You're my m-m-medicine, medicine
My m-m-medicine, medicine
My m-m-medicine
[Outro: Both, Shakira]
You make it all better, better
You make me feel home
You make it all better, better
You make me feel home
You make it all better, better
You make me feel home
You make it all better, better
You make me feel home
You're my m-m-medicine
You make it all better, better
You make me feel home
You make it all better, better
You make me feel home
You make it all better, better
You make me feel home
You make it all better, better
You make me feel home
You're my m-m-medicine
