Love Junkie
Joe Farren Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A glass of wine, I never cross the line
I don't smoke, haven't had a drag in years
But there’s a drug that I can't get enough of
I’m a Love junkie for my honey
She's my favorite high
I slur my speech, my knees go weak
When I need a fix, just one kiss
Can sweep me off my feet
If it’s a crime I'll do the time
I’m a love junkie
I got addicted from just one taste
Of those lips, it was bliss
There’s no substitute, no pill that I could take
For this drug I can't get enough of
I’m a Love junkie for my honey
She's my favorite high
I slur my speech, my knees go weak
She keeps me up all night
When I need a fix, just one kiss
Can sweep me off my feet
If it’s a crime, I'll do the time
I’m a love junkie
I take it in the morning, in the evening
Late at night, she wets my appetite
You can't buy it, there’s no prescription
For this drug that I can't get enough of
I’m a Love junkie, for my honey
She's my favorite high
I slur my speech, my knees go weak
She keeps me up all night
When I need a fix, just one kiss
Can sweep me off my feet
If it’s a crime I'll do the time
I’m a love junkie
