Addicted
Beth Hart Feat. Joe Bonamassa Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Any time I try to get through
Your phone is quiet and so are you
The consequence of my demand
Oh, what I meant

Living together so long
A story moved on, but we did not
The love we felt, that rescue sight

Of sentiment, oh, what I meant

Oh, baby, come back to me
Please darling, can′t you see?
I'm addicted to you
I′m addicted to you

Oh, baby, come back to me
Please darling, can't you see?
That I'm addicted to you
I′m addicted to you

Any time I try to get through
Your phone is quiet and so are you
The consequence of my demand
Oh, what I meant

We′ve been together so long
The story moved on, but we did not
The love we felt, that rescue sight
Of sentiment, oh, what I meant

Oh, baby, come back to me
Please darling, can't you see?
That I′m addicted to you
So addicted to you

Oh, baby, come back to me
Please darling, can't you see?
That I′m addicted to you
I'm addicted to you

Baby, come back to me
Please darling, can′t you see?
That I'm addicted to you
So addicted to you

Oh, baby, come back to me
Please darling, can't you see?

I′m addicted to you
I′m addicted to you
