Because Of You
►Ne-Yo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh
Ooh, want to, but I can't help it
I love the way it feels
It's got me stuck between my fantasy and what is real
I need it when I want it, I want it when I don't
Tell myself I'll stop everyday, knowing that I won't
I got a problem, and I (ooh, don't know what to do about it)
Even if I did, I don't know if I would quit but I doubt it
I'm taken by the thought of it
And I know this much is true
Baby, you have become my addiction
I'm so strung out on you
I can barely move but I like it
Said and it's all because of you (all because of you)
Said and it's all because of you, mmm (all because of you)
And it's all because of you (all because of you)
Said and it's all because
Never get enough
She's the sweetest drug (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Think of it every second, I can't get nothin' done
Only concern is the next time I'm gon' get me some
Know I should stay away from, 'cause it's no good for me
I try and try, but my obsession won't let me leave
I got a problem and I (ooh, don't know what to do about it)
Ooh, even if I did, I don't know if I would quit but I doubt it
I'm taken by the thought of it, ayy (ooh-ooh-ooh)
And I know this much is true
Baby, you have become my addiction
I'm so strung out on you (strung out on you)
I can barely move, (ooh), but I like it (and I like it)
Said and it's all because of you (oh, all because of you)
Said and it's all because of you, mmm (all because of you)
And it's all because of you (all because of you)
Said and it's all because
Never get enough (never get enough)
She's the sweetest drug (ooh-ooh)
Ain't no doubt (no doubt, ayy)
So strung out (strung out, oh)
Ain't no doubt (this ain't no grain of doubt, oh)
So strung out (hey)
Over you, over you, (you), over you (you)
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Because of you
And it's all because of you
Mmm, never get enough
She's the sweetest drug
And I know this much is true
Baby, you (baby, you, you, you)
Have become my addiction (my addiction)
I'm so strung out on you
I can barely move but I like it (but I like it, yeah)
Said and it's all because of you (oh, all because of you)
Said and it's all because of you, mmm (all because of you)
And it's all because of you (all because of you)
Said and it's all because
Never get enough (oh, never get enough)
She's the sweetest drug
She's the sweetest drug

Closer, closer, closer, closer (Woo!)
Turn the light off in this place
And she shines just like a star
And I swear I know her face
I just don't know who you are
Turn the music up in here
I still hear her loud and clear
Like she's right there in my clear
Telling me that she wants to own me
To control me
Come closer! (Come closer!)
Come closer!
And I just can't pull myself away
Under her spell I can't break
I just can't stop (I just can't stop)
I just can't stop (I just can't stop)
And I just can't bring myself away
But I don't want to escape
I just can't stop (I just can't stop)
I just can't stop (I just can't stop)
I just can't stop
I can feel her on my skin
I can taste her on my tongue
She's the sweetest taste of sin
The more I got the more I want
She wants to own me
Come closer!
She says come closer, hey
And I just can't pull myself away
Under the spell I can't break
I just can't stop (I just can't stop)
I just can't stop (I just can't stop)
And I just can't bring myself away
But I don't want to escape
I just can't stop (I just can't stop)
I just can't stop (I just can't stop)
I just can't stop
Come closer, come closer, come closer, come closer
Come closer, come closer, come closer (oh)
I just can't stop no, no
I just can't stop no, no
I just can't stop no, no
And I just can't pull myself away
Under the spell I can't break
I just can't stop (I just can't stop)
I just can't stop (I just can't stop)
And I just can't bring myself away
But I don't want to escape
I just can't stop (I just can't stop)
I just can't stop (I just can't stop)
And I just can't pull myself away
Under her spell I can't break
I just can't stop (I just can't stop)
I just can't stop (I just can't stop)
Come closer!
