"My Love Is Chemical"
===========================
album _White Nights_
(Original Soundtrack, 1985)
written by Walt Aldridge
===========================
When I see the way you paint your lips
and I smell your perfume
when I see the brand new color
that you've dyed your hair, too
I know, you know, it's more than physical
My love, my love, my love, love is chemical
Well I know the saying goes
that all in love and war is fair
but I've never stood a chance
against your chemical warfare
The polish on your fingernails
mascara on your eyes
the lotion you rub on at night
to make sure your hands ain't dry
My love, my love, my love, love is chemical
(My, my, my love is chemical)
(my, my, my love is chemical)
I know, I know, it's more than physical, hey baby
My love, my love, my love, love is chemical
Well I hope that you won't take offense
it's not that you're not pretty
it's only that I feel like
I'm in love with test tube city
I know with you, I'm on the pinnacle
I'm on the pinnacle, babe
My love, my love, my love, love is chemical
we're not just talking physical desire here
(My, my, my love is chemical)
(my, my, my love is chemical)
I know with you, it's more than physical
much more than just carnal lust
My love, my love, my love, love is chemical
My, my love, oh, love is chemical
my, my, my love is chemical
It's so much more than physical, honey
it's much more than physical
My love, my love, my love, love is chemical
My, my, my, my love is chemical
hey baby, my, my, my, my love is chemical
So much more than physical, honey, why don't you come here
my love is chemical
I'd like to communicate with you directly
my love is chemical
So much more than physical

When I see the way you paint your lips

against your chemical warfare
The polish on your fingernails
mascara on your eyes

My love, my love, my love, love is chemical

I know, I know, it's more than physical, hey baby
My love, my love, my love, love is chemical
Well I hope that you won't take offense

not complete but...take a look!!
"Love is Chemical"
When I see the way you pink your lips
and I smell your perfume
When I see the brand new color
that you've dyed your hair too
I know, you know, it's more than physical
My love, my love, my love
love is chemical
Well, i know the same ain't goes there...love, wow, is fair
But I've never stood a chance to kiss your chemical...
The...your fingernails, mascara on your eyes,
the lotion you robbed on a night to make sure...
My love, my love , my love
Love is chemical
Ah, ah, ah love is chemical
I know, I know, I know
it's more than physical
My love, my love , my love
love is chemical
Well, I hope that you don't take offense
it's not that you're not pretty
It's only that I feel like I'm in love with...city
I know with you, I'm on the pinnacle baby
My love, my love, my love
love is chemical
i know with you it's more than physical
it's so much more than physical
(repeat, fade out)

Here are some corrections to the lyrics...
When I see the way you paint your lips and I smell your perfume
when I see the brand new color that you've dyed your hair, too
I know, you know, it's more than physical
My love, my love, my love, love is chemical
Well, i know the siying goes that all in love and war is fair,
but I've never stood a chance against your chemical war-fare
The polish your fingernails, the mascara on your eyes
the lotion you rub on a night to make sure your hands aint dry
My love, my love, my love, love is chemical
My - ah - ah, love is chemical
my - ah - ah, love is chemical
I know, I know, it's more than physical, hey, baby
My love, my love, my love, love is chemical
Well, I hope that you don't take offenses
it's not that you're not pretty
it's only that I feel like I'm in love with test tube city
I know, with you, I'm on the pinnacle
come on, pinnacle, baby
My love, my love, my love, love is chemical
when I just talk ...
My - ah - ah, love is chemical
my - ah - ah, love is chemical
I know, with you, it's more than physical
watch ... just ...
My love, my love, my love, love is chemical
My, my love, oh, love is chemical
my, my, my, love is chemical
It's so much more than physical
it's much more than physical
My love, my love, my love, love is chemical
My, my, my, my love is chemical
hey, baby, my-my-my, my love is chemical
So much more than physical, honey, ... me
my love is chemical
I like the music ...
my love is chemical
....
