Lyrics

Cocaine

[Verse 1]

If you wanna hang out

You've got to take her out

Cocaine

If you wanna get down

Down on the ground

Cocaine

[Chorus]

She don't lie

She don't lie

She don't lie

Cocaine

[Verse 2]

If you've got bad news

You wanna kick them blues

Cocaine

When your day is done

And you wanna run

Cocaine

[Chorus]

She don't lie

She don't lie

She don't lie

Cocaine

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

If your day is gone

And you wanna ride on

Cocaine

Don't forget this fact

You can't get it back

Cocaine

[Chorus]

She don't lie

She don't lie

She don't lie

Cocaine

She don't lie

She don't lie

She don't lie

Cocaine
