Because of You
Ne-Yo (Ft. AC) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I love the way it feels
This got me stuck between my fantasy and what is real
I need it when I want it
I want it when I don't
Tell myself I'll stop everyday
Knowing that I won't
I got a problem, and I (don't know what to do about it)
But I doubt it; I'm
Taken by the thought of it
And I know this much is true
Baby, you have become my addiction
I'm so strung out on you
I can barely move, but I like it
So, then it's all because of you (all because of you)
So, then it's all because of you (all because of you)
And it's all because of you (all because of you)
So, then it's all because
Never get enough
She's the sweetest drug
Think of it every second
I can't get nothing done
Only concern is the next time I'm gon' get me some
Know I should stay away from
'Cause it's no good for me
I try and try, but my obsession won't let me leave
I got a problem, and I (don't know what to do about it)
Ooo, even if I did, I don't know if I would quit
But I doubt it, I'm
Taken by the thought of it
And I know this much is true
Baby, you have become my addiction
I'm so strung out on you (strung out on you)
I can barely move, ooo, but I like it (but I like it)
So, then it's all because of you (all because of you)
So, then it's all because of you (all because of you)
And it's all because of you (all because of you)
So, then it's all because
Never get enough (never get enough)
She's the sweetest drug
Ain't no doubt (no doubt, hey)
So strung out (strung out, hey)
Ain't no doubt
So strung out (hey)
(Over you)
Over you (you)
Over you (you)
(Because of you
And it's all because of you
Mmm, never get enough
She's the sweetest drug)
The lyrics of Because of You by Ne-Yo (ft. AC) describe a deep addiction to a person that has taken over the individual's life. The singer is in love with the way it feels but finds himself stuck between his fantasies and reality. He wants the person when he doesn't have them, and he constantly tells himself he'll stop but fails to follow through. Despite having a problem, he doesn't know if he would quit. He's caught up in the thought of this person that he can't seem to get enough of. He's consumed by them to the point where he can think of nothing else and has trouble focusing on anything else.
The chorus of the song emphasizes this addiction, as the singer says that it's all because of this person that he's so strung out on. They have become his addiction, and while he knows he should stay away from them, he can't help but think of them every second. Despite trying to leave this obsession, he finds himself unable to resist it. The song ends with the repetition of the lyrics, "Because of you," emphasizing that this person has completely consumed the singer's thoughts and feelings.
