If you stop and think about it, this song is a warning of what happens when you're addicted. If you look at the lyrics, he is saying that once you're hooked, you can't do anything without cocaine. Who would want to be so dependent on anything that they can't function without it?
If you wanna hang out you've got to take her out; cocaine.
-He is saying that if you just want to hang out with people, you need cocaine
(A lot of addicts say that the drug they are presently addicted to is the "love of their life" so it makes sense that he would personify coke as a woman.) I know that heroine was his "drug of choice", but he was clearly addicted to coke when he adapted this song.
If you wanna get down, down on the ground; cocaine.
if you want to party, you can't do without cocaine
She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie; cocaine.
-if you do cocaine you'll get high, no one is saying that you won't, but you look at what could happen if you are one of those people who becomes addicted to it.
If you got bad news, you wanna kick them blues; cocaine.
in order just to feel better you need cocaine and any time you're feeling badly, you can't feel better without cocaine
When your day is done and you wanna run; cocaine.
-you can't relax or enjoy your time off without cocaine
She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie; cocaine.
If your thing is gone and you wanna ride on; cocaine.
you can't keep going without cocaine because you are dependent on it
Don't forget this fact, you can't get it back; cocaine.
I see this line as a warning: you can't go back to before you ever did cocaine, so you do more cocaine
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.
