[Verse 1]
She keeps her patience for the bedroom
Should satisfy her for a week
Her domination is executed cheaply
With her studio technique

[Pre-Chorus]
(What's new?)
She carries love in a carrier bag
(What's new?)
She don't keep her body clean
Oh, oh, oh
Illegitimate contributions
And neurotic fantasies conceived

[Chorus]
Love is infectious
I don't know about that
Love is infectious
I don't know about it

[Verse 2]
She keeps appointments by the hour glass
Guerrilla warfare in her bed
And constant love is oh oh so negative
We're simulating sex instead
[Pre-Chorus]
(What's new?)
She carries love in a carrier bag
(What's new?)
She don't keep her body clean
Oh, oh, oh
Illegitimate contributions
And neurotic fantasies conceived

[Chorus]
Love is infectious
I don't know about that
Love is infectious
I don't know about it

[Verse 3]
No personality's essential
Nobody strictly in command
She's not direct, elusive
Or inadequate
Love's incompatible commands

[Pre-Chorus]
(What's new?)
She carries love in a carrier bag
(What's new?)
She don't keep her body clean
Oh, oh, oh
Illegitimate contributions
And neurotic heartaches are conceived
[Chorus]
Love is infectious
I don't know about that
Love is infectious
I don't know about it
