I Love To Shoot Up Poem by Ramona Thompson

Very dark rewrite of Kelly Clarkson's I Don't Hook Up

Oh sweetheart, don't you dare ask me again to put this needle down
'Cause it's the only way I can inspire my talents forth
So just you turn away those judgemental eyes
Because if there's some kind of cure you found
I can honestly say
I don't want it
I don't need it

Slow motion seduction
Needle gleaming in the sun got my mouth watering
Without it I'm gonna for sure I know be
Feelin' that chill
No, can't deny it
Not even gonna try to define it
Just know that I need it
I want it

Just know that that I love this game
Always wanna stick more of it into me
Never try to take away my druggie thrills
Or I just might put you under deep six feet

Oh yeah
I love to shoot up, up
Only way I can carry on with life's show
If you got any to sell me
Please let me know
ASAP
And none of that cheap stuff, oh please
Just put it in my hand
Watch me roll up my sleeve
Gonna have a real good time
Gettin' high tonight

Oh yeah
I love to shoot up, up
I like to take it hard and I like to take it deep
Hooked from the very first try
Now no matter how hard I try to fight
I find that I just can't say goodbye

The way it cooks in my veins
Ooh no, no
I ain't got no choice
I just can't stay clean
Blowing in the breeze is the scent of something new on the market
Think I wanna try
Just a taste
Think I know just where tonight I'm gonna head

My life may not last long
But hey I've never really cared that much anyhow
Gonna love each and every high that I get
No matter how much in the end
It may kick my tail
I know a quick fix is the only thing
The only thing that's gonna keep my writing so swell

Repeat chorus

I like to take it hard and I like to take it deep
Hooked from the very first try
Now no matter how hard I try to fight
I find that I just can't say goodbye

Sticking it
One more time
Into my arm
Could be the end of me
Somehow to my hazy brain
It still don't matter
Hmmm....go figure

Repeat chorus

I like to take it hard and I like to take it deep
Hooked from the very first try
Now no matter how hard I try to fight
I find that I just can't say goodbye

Oh sweetheart, don't you dare ask me to put this needle down
'Cause if you do
I just might be tossing you and your shh out
