BECAUSE OF YOU
►Ne-Yo Lyrics

Ooh
The singer is overcome with emotion

Want to but I can't help it
The singer is unable to resist their desire

I love the way it feels
The singer is infatuated with the feeling of the addiction

This got me stuck between my fantasy and what is real
The artist is having trouble distinguishing their addiction from reality

I need it when I want it
The artist craves the addiction

I want it when I don't
The singer has an insatiable desire for the addiction

Tell myself I'll stop everyday
The singer makes false promises to stop the addiction

Knowing that I won't
The artist's addiction is so strong that they cannot stop

I got a problem, and I (don't know what to do about it)
The artist acknowledges that they have a problem but doesn't know how to address it

Even if I did, I don't know if I would quit
The artist is unsure if they have the willpower to quit the addiction

But I doubt it, I'm
The singer is highly doubtful that they can quit

Taken by the thought of it
The artist is captivated by the idea of the addiction

And I know this much is true
The singer is certain of the addiction's influence on them

Baby, you have become my addiction
The singer is addicted to someone (addressed as 'baby')

I'm so strung out on you
The singer is heavily dependent on the person for their addiction

I can barely move, but I like it
The artist is physically and emotionally consumed by the addiction, but still derives pleasure from it

So, then it's all because of you (all because of you)
The addiction is entirely caused by the person addressed as 'you'

Never get enough
The singer is always in need of more of the addiction

She's the sweetest drug
The person addressed as 'she' is as addicting as a drug

Think of it every second
The addiction consumes the artist's thoughts all the time

I can't get nothing done
The addiction is a major distraction from other activities

Only concern is the next time I'm gon' get me some
The artist is constantly preoccupied with when they can indulge in the addiction next

Know I should stay away from
The singer recognizes that they should avoid the addiction

'Cause it's no good for me
The addiction is harmful to the artist

I try and try, but my obsession won't let me leave
The singer struggles to break free from the addiction

Ain't no doubt (no doubt, ayy)
The singer is sure of the addiction's hold on them

So strung out (strung out, oh)
The singer is heavily dependent on the addiction

This ain't no grain of doubt, oh
The artist is completely certain of the addiction's effect on them

(Over you)
The addiction is specifically caused by the person addressed as 'you'

Because of you
The addiction is caused entirely by the person addressed as 'you'

Mmm, never get enough
The singer always desires more of the addiction

She's the sweetest drug
The addiction is as addicting as a drug and is specifically caused by a person addressed as 'she'

Baby, you (baby, you, you, you, yo)
The person addressed as 'baby' is the cause of the artist's addiction

My addiction
The person addressed as 'baby' has become the artist's addiction
