Obsessed
√ Miley Cyrus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why do I just lie awake and think of you?
I need some sleep.
Tomorrow I have things to do.
Every time I close my eyes I see your face,
So I try to read, but all I do is lose my place.

Am I obsessed with you?
I do my best not to want you.
But I do all the time.
I do all the time.

I just had to call you up and say hello.
I know it's three a.m.
And I saw you awhile ago.
But I still had this aching need to hear your voice
To know your there
I don't seem to have any choice.

Am I obsessed with you?
I do my best not to want you.
But I do all the time.
I do all the time.

Oh yeah.
I'm so sorry I just had to wake you up.
I feel so lonely by myself.
Is this the way it feels when you're in love?
Or is this something else?
Yeah

Yeah

Am I obsessed with you?
I do my best not to want you.
But I do all the time.
I do all the time.

Oh yeah




But I do all the time, I want you all the time.
Am I obsessed with you?

Overall Meaning

In Miley Cyrus's song "Obsessed," the lyrics describe a person who is struggling with their feelings for someone they are infatuated with. The singer tries to go to sleep, but their mind keeps returning to thoughts of this person, causing them to lose sleep and struggle to focus during the day. Despite their attempts to control their feelings, they find themselves constantly wanting this person and feeling the need to talk to them at all hours of the night. The singer questions whether this intense longing and desire for this person is an obsession, and wonders if this is what love feels like or something else entirely.


The lyrics suggest that the singer may be struggling with an unhealthy obsession with this person. The constant thoughts and lack of sleep are classic symptoms of obsessive behavior, and the singer's inability to control their desire for this person could be a sign of deeper emotional issues. The song raises the question of whether love and obsession are truly separate entities or if they can often overlap.


Overall, "Obsessed" is a powerful and introspective look at a person trying to come to terms with their intense feelings for someone else. The lyrics and melody work together to create a haunting and emotional experience that will speak to anyone who has ever struggled with unrequited love or obsessive behavior.
