I'm Cured (and I Can't Catch Love)

Mr. Otway, I'm ready for you now.

After my rejection
She gave me an injection
That cured me from the disease of love
The allergic reaction
To the burning infection
Was fierce, but really did the job

She cured my affliction
With a small dose of passion
And the antibodies did what they could
They killed off the bacteria
That was causing the hysteria
By dancing around in my blood

So, you can move me
You can groove me
You can put your arms around me
Play games I could never dream of
You can kiss me, caress me, try to seduce me
But I'm cured and I can't catch love

She gave me protection
With a taste of my own medicine
Said Honey, does it hurt when I press there
She lied and she cheated
Laughed when I objected
Now that's what I call intensive care

So, you can move me
You can groove me
You can put your arms around me
Play games I could never dream of
You can kiss me, caress me, try to seduce me
But I'm cured and I can't catch love

Do you want a diagnosis
Do you want to get over this
She said as she was taking my pulse
I've taken some samples
Down to the lab
Just wait until you get the results

I was addicted, drowning
I had to keep swimming
I had to keep taking the drug
She used aversion therapy
So no-one else could get me
I know now I ain't got that bug

So, you can move me
You can groove me
You can put your arms around me
Play games I could never dream of
You can kiss me, caress me, try to seduce me
But I'm cured and I can't catch love

So, you can move me
You can groove me
You can put your arms around me
Play games I could never dream of
You can kiss me, caress me, try to undress me
But I'm cured and I can't catch love

I'm cured and I can't catch love
I'm cured and I can't catch love
