Addicted
Ace Young Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I gotta let it out, Baby here's my confession
My Hands are shakin' and it's close to obsession
Poundin' in my chest been goin' 24/7
You'd think the pain by now would make me learn my lesson

[Bridge 1]
But there's no way to win when I push you away
Wanna do anything if you ask me to stay

[Chorus]
I'm so addicted, You're everything I want
No complication, You know you had me from the jump
I'm so addicted, Do what you wanna do
I'm committed, Addicted to you

It's cruel to call it love when it's lust and desire
Feel like I can fly, then you cut down the wire
Even though I know I'm sinkin' lower by the hour
Can't change the fact that I'm a slave to your power

[Bridge 2]

[Chorus]

You've given enough just to let me breathe
You keep me alive just to watch me bleed
I crawl down on my knees for you

You've made damn sure that I won't forget
You're loves a drug I could never quit
All the things that you do, you do, you do

[Bridge 1]

[Chorus]

I'm so addicted (I'm so addicted),you're everything I Need
My Medication, You're the lie that I believe
I'm so addicted, There's nothin' I can do (wanna do)
I'm committed, Addicted to you

Addicted, Committed, Addicted to you
Addicted, Committed, Addicted to you




Addicted, Committed, Addicted to you
Addicted, Committed, Addicted to you

I can't put into words how GEORGEOUS Ace is. His face is so beautiful, his personality just beams...God truly created a work of art when he made Ace.

Theresa Williams

I don't think Ace has ever gotten proper due credit for his amazing talent. I love him & wish him lots of success.

Still love him, I loved when he was on American Idol. I saw him come up for the audition and was shocked as hell to see someone I knew on there. I still remember his performances with this girl Goldie at the rec center teen night i use to go to many many years ago so amazing then and still amazing now

LilDevil42987

I want to hear him sing far away nickelback full song ....i heard him sang it in tv series called bones as a guest star ..it was amazing ... too bad he sang only a little part of the song. His voice is amazing he should sing more songs.

He's in Hair on Broadway as one of the main characters, Berger. He had an open loose vest the whole time and only a loin cloth for part of it. It was amazing. I hugged him after the show! :)
