Addicted
Amy Winehouse/Musicfire.in Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tell your boyfriend next time he around
To buy his own weed and don't wear my shit down
I wouldn't care if brave would give me some more
I'd rather him leave you than leave him my draw
When you smoke all my weed man
You gots to call the green man
So I can get mine
And you get yours

Once is enough to make me attack
So bring me a bag and your man can come back
I'll check him at the door make sure he got green
I'm tighter than airport security team

When you smoke all my weed man
You gots to call the green man
So I can get mine and you get yours

I'm my own man
So when will you learn
That you got a man but I gots to burn
Don't make no difference if I end up alone
I'd rather have myself and smoke my homegrown
Its got me addicted, does more than any dick did

Yeah I can get mine and you get yours
Yeah I can get mine and you get yours

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Amy Winehouse's song "Addicted" speak about the singer's frustration with her partner who continuously smokes all of her weed without contributing to the supply. She insists that he needs to purchase his own supply and stop using up hers. In fact, she is willing to let him go rather than continue to let him consume her stash. The chorus repeats the need for her partner to call the "green man" (the dealer) to replenish her supply so that she can get hers and he can get his.

The song also touches on Amy's addiction to marijuana, expressing that it does more for her than any man has ever been able to. She chooses to prioritize her need for weed even if it means being alone, rather than being dependent on a man. The line, "I'm my own man, so when will you learn" speaks to the idea that Amy is self-sufficient and doesn't need a man to survive. The addictiveness of the drug is also brought up several times, using both the title of the song and the line "its got me addicted."

Overall, the lyrics to "Addicted" have a sense of humor and honesty to them, with Amy openly discussing her love for marijuana and her preference for self-reliance over being dependent on a partner.
