BECAUSE OF YOU
Ne-Yo Ft. Kanye West Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeezy, Ne-Yo, the remix, ayo
I think it's time to hit 'em with the Ma$e flow
My uh, she was gettin' the best of me
But, ooh child, you're my destiny
And I know it's especially
Hard with all these girls just testin' me (come on)
Uh, and you gon' question me
If she even stand next to me
But you should laugh, 'cause you my better half
And these girls just fightin' over the rest of me (come on)
Right now it feels so crazy
I know she just some lady
And my outfit is just so 80's
Not to mention a McLaren Mercedes
And the twenty-six inch inch wheels
Looks so good with your 6 inch heels
Fly, that you be on gone
Gucci on, Lanvin, Louboutin (uh)
And we high as the way that we cruisin' on
High like I, like mercury
Why do I mention the solar system?
'Cause you in my soul and system
And we're gonna take her home with this one
I got somethin' that you gon' like (ooh)
You got somethin' that I can't fight
We got somethin' and we both gon' ride

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

Said, and it's all because of you (all because of you)
Said, and it's all because of you, mmm (all because of you)
And it's all because of you (all because of you)
Said, and it's all because
Never get enough
She's the sweetest drug (ooh-ooh-ooh)

Think of it every second, I can't get nothin' 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)
Ooh, even if I did, I don't know if I would quit but I doubt it
I'm taken by the thought of it, ayy (ooh-ooh-ooh)

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, (ooh), but I like it (and I like it)

Said, and it's all because of you (ayy, all because of you)
Said, and it's all because of you, mmm (all because of you)
And it's all because of you (all because of you)
Said, and it's all because
Never get enough (never get enough)
She's the sweetest drug (ooh-ooh)

Ain't no doubt (no doubt, ayy)
So strung out (strung out, oh)
Ain't no doubt (this ain't no grain of doubt, oh)
So strung out (hey)
Over you, over you, (you), over you (you)
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Because of you
And it's all because of you





Mmm, never get enough
She's the sweetest drug
