BECAUSE OF YOU
尼欧Ne-Yo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooh
Want to but I can't help it
I love the way it feels
This 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 (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

So, then it's all because of you (all because of you)
So, then it's all because of you (all because of you)
And it's all because of you (all because of you)
So, then it's all because
Never get enough
She's the sweetest drug

Ooh
Think of it every second
I can't get nothing 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 (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

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)

So, then it's all because of you (all because of you)
So, then it's all because of you (all because of you)
And it's all because of you (all because of you)
So, then it's all because
Never get enough (never get enough)
She's the sweetest drug

Ooh-oh-oh
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)
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, yo)
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)

So, then it's all because of you (oh, all because of you)
So, then it's all because of you (all because of you)
And it's all because of you (all because of you)
So, then it's all because
Never get enough (oh, never get enough)
She's the sweetest drug
