Because of You
NeYo (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)
"Because Of You" is a song about addiction and the intense emotional and physical pull that someone can have over another person. The opening lines of the song, "Ooo, want to but I can't help it, I love the way it feels, This got me stuck between my fantasy and what is real," set the tone for the rest of the song. The singer is caught up in their addiction to someone and cannot resist the pull they have over them, even if they know that it is not healthy or sustainable.
The singer of the song is aware of their addiction, but they feel powerless to stop it, saying, "I got a problem, and I (don't know what to do about it), Even if I did, I don't know if I would quit, But I doubt it; I'm Taken by the thought of it." This underscores the intense hold that the other person has over them, and the desperation they feel in wanting to break free but being unable to do so.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "So, then it's all because of you" several times, hammering home the point that the singer's addiction is entirely because of the other person. They cannot get enough of them and are wholly consumed by their presence. Despite the destructive nature of their addiction, the singer seems to be unable or unwilling to break free, saying "I try and try, but my obsession won't let me leave."
Overall, "Because Of You" is a powerful song that explores the darker side of love and relationships. It highlights the overpowering and all-consuming nature of addiction and the way that it can take hold of someone's life.
