like the mumps or the chicken pox, you get it once and then you’re done,
and if you’ve had it bad enough, you’ll never get it back again,
I didn’t mean to fall like that, now I’m flatter than a welcome mat,

but I wanted you so bad,
you left me vaccinated,
first I was so sad,
then I recuperated,
slowly your memory’s faded,
but I can’t fall in love again..

at first it’s the biggest buzz, then you want it twice as much,
and later when the source dries up, there’s nothing to replace that rush,
I finally had to face the truth, traded heroin for chicken soup,

but I wanted you so bad,
you left me vaccinated,
first I was so sad,
then I recuperated,
slowly your memory’s faded,
but I can’t fall in love again,
‘cause you left me vaccinated,
first I was so sad,
now I’ve recuperated,
slowly your memory’s faded,
but I can’t fall in love,
but I can’t fall in love,
but I can’t fall in love again…
