yeah yeah yeah Yeah hey.
Yeah yeah yeah

[Chorus]
(I-I-I-I need your therapy)
(I-I-I-I need you to come and lay hands on me)
(I-I-I-I need your therapy-therapy-therapy)
(hey)
He lays me on the couch and says
"how has your day been?
Tell me your problems,
I'll help you solve them.
Come on let's talk about it"
He sits next to me and smiles.
Listens to all of my words,
Relaxes all of my nerves.

Like breathe in (breathe in)
Let it go (shout it out)
Take deeps breathes and real slow, calm down.
Close my eyes (soft spoke)
Ease my mind (take control)
From my body please
Work your Psychology

You're taking good care of me
Always been there for me
Boy I can't bear to leave
Cause I need your therapy

You've given me everything
So much I ever could need
Without you I'm so weak in the knees
I need your therapy

[Chorus]

He puts his hand on my lower back
his face in my neck and
Says something to make me laugh
Makes me forget I was mad
His touch feels so right
It's like he's reading my mind
I need him all the time

Like breathe in (breathe in)
Let it go (shout it out)
Take deeps breathes and real slow, calm down.
Close my eyes (soft spoke?)
Ease my mind (take control)
From my body please ?
Work your Psychology

You're taking good care of me
Always been there for me
Boy I can't bear to leave
Cause I need your therapy

You've given me everything
So much I ever could need
Without you I'm so weak in the knees
I need your therapy

[Chorus]

When it feels like I'm losing power
When I feels like a wilting flower
The way you touch me says I'm there for you
It heals me just to hear you say "I Love You"

You're taking good care of me
Always been there for me
Boy I can't bear to leave
Cause I need your therapy

You've given me everything
So much I ever could need
Without you I'm so weak in the knees
I need your therapy

You're taking good care of me
Always been there for me
Boy I can't bear to leave
Cause I need your therapy

You've given me everything
So much I ever could need




Without you I'm so weak in the knees
I need your therapy

If we make each other happy then we just can't lose
I don't mean to be decadent, I might sound like a hedonist
But the simplest way I can put it you become a habit
The more I consume, the more I gotta have it
Ain't no such thing as too much
If you gave me everything it'd never be enough, yeah
My black coffee with sugar, no cream in the morning
You're my super double caffeine dream, yeah
Your precious darkness got me so strung out
And lovin' the way that you got me so wide open, my baby doll
Jonesin' and fienin' under my skin
My nerves are screamin' when you're not here
See baby, I need ya, sugar you're so delicious
There is somethin' about your love
That makes me just wanna open up
Your flavor is the sweetest thing in life
I'm addicted to your chocolate high
'Cause I want you and I know that you want me
So let's stay close like we supposed to be
And just get high off our own supply
I'm addicted to your chocolate high
I be trippin' in so many ways
If I go a single day without a taste of your love
The finest cuisine of today's world
Five stars, oh you're so gourmet girl
I crave you, I want you
Every cell in my body needs you
Tasty like Hershey's and Nestle
You're rich like Godiva, boy you just so sexy
There is somethin' about your love
That makes me just wanna open up
Your flavor is the sweetest thing in life
I'm addicted to your chocolate high
'Cause I want you and I know that you want me
So let's stay close like we supposed to be
And just get high off our own supply
I'm addicted to your chocolate high
Your flavor is to me the sweetest thing in life
And I don't ever wanna come down
I'm addicted to your chocolate high, oh
There is somethin' about your love
That makes me just wanna open up
Your flavor is the sweetest thing in life
I'm addicted to your chocolate high
'Cause I want you and I know that you want me
