(me? obsessive?) My Love Is Chemical - Lou Reed

I searched YouTube for a version of Lou Reed's "My Love Is Chemical" with lyrics and couldn't find it, so figured I'd transcribe it myself. Well... now maybe I know why nobody has done this so far. If you care to see how my transcription falls apart at the end, go ahead. This song is not as 'simple' as it first appears - in fact it's full of precision and artistry.

My Love Is Chemical
--Lou Reed

Well I see the way you paint your lips, and I smell your perfume
and 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 never stood a chance against your chemical affair ("OHfair")
The polish on your finger nails, 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

(background singers)
My my my love is chemical
My my my love is chemical

I know, I know,
it's more than physical
(spoken) Hey, baby
My love, my love, my love - love is chemical

(robot voice)
My love
love is chemical
My love
love is chemical
My love
oooo wa oooo wa
My love my love is chemical

Well I hope that you won't take offence, 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
(spoken) I'm on the pinnacle, baby.
My love, my love, my love - love is chemical
(spoken) We're not just talking physical desire, here.

(background singers)
My my my love is chemical
My my my love is chemical

I know with you it's more than physical
(spoken) Much more than just carnal lust
My love, my love, my love - love is chemical



My my love is chemical
My my my love is chemical
Yeah, so much more than physical, honey
It's much more than physical
My love, my love, my love - love is chemical

My oooo my love is chemical
My oooo my love is chemical

So much more than physical, honey

My love my love my love - love is chemical

I'd like to communicate with you directly.

my love is chemical
so much more than physical
