[Verse 1]
E5
You can read it in the papers
In some places it comes in thirty two flavors
        G
But you wouldn't tell no one
     A5               E5
Your favorite, if you could
 
E5
From the White House to the alleys
From the President down to Long Tall Sally
      G
Can't live with it but
           A5                  E7
You'll die without it, yes you would
 
A5
Senorita's in the kitchen
        G                E5
She's a fistful of dynamite
         A5
You call 911 but you
G                  B5             G
Can't stop the fun tonite, it's alright
 
[Chorus]
E5
You can't start a fire without a spark
But there's something that I guarantee
You can't hide when infection starts
        G         D      E5       D5/E
Because love is a social disease
G         D      E5       D5/E
Love is a social disease
 
[Verse 2]
E5
Where you look you can find it
Try to run but you're always behind it
       G                         A5
So you play hide and seek like a blind kid
           E5
Til you're caught, yeah, you're caught
So you'll say that you had some
But they took it and held it for ransom
          G                     A5
Were they tall, dark, skinny or handsome
    E7
You won't talk
 
       A5
So you telephone your doctor
        G                E5
Just to see what pill to take
    A5
You know there's no prescription
      G         B5         G
Gonna wipe this one away  (whaah)
 
[Chorus]
E5
You can't start a fire without a spark
But there's something that I guarantee
You can't hide when infection starts
        G         D      E5       D5/E
Because love is a social disease
G         D      E5       D5/E
Love is a social disease
G         D      E5       D5/E
Love is a social disease

[Bridge]
           A5
So full of high grade octane
G                                 E5
She could run the bullet train on 38 double d's
        A5                 G
Now you know for sure, you know the cure
   B                  G
To make any blind man see
 
[Chorus]
E5
You can't start a fire without a spark
But there's something that I guarantee
You can't hide when infection starts
        G         D      E5       D5/E
Because love is a social disease
G         D      E5       D5/E
Love is a social disease
 
[Outro]
E5
You can't start a fire without a spark
But there's something that I guarantee
You can't hide when infection starts
        G         D      E5       D5/E
Because love is a social disease
G         D      E5       D5/E   G         D      E5
Love is a social disease, baby,  love is a social disease.
