BECAUSE OF YOU
Neyo ft. Kanye West Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
In these lyrics to "Because of You," Neyo is singing about his addiction to a particular person who has become his drug, and the impact that it has had on his life. He loves the way it feels to be with this person, but he's aware that it's a fantasy that conflicts with reality. He needs this person and wants them all the time, but also knows that he should try to stop this addiction. The problem is that he's so enamored with the thought of this person that he can't help himself.
Neyo's addiction to this person has become all-encompassing. He can't think of anything else and can't get anything done because he's too consumed by thoughts of them. Regardless of how much he tries to stay away, he can't leave because he's too attached. This person has become his addiction, his drug, and he's strung out on them. He knows that it's not good for him, but he can't help it because they're the "sweetest drug" he's ever known.
Overall, "Because of You" is a song that explores the idea of how people can become addicted to certain individuals in their lives. It touches on the idea of dependency, and how it can be difficult to extricate oneself from these relationships, even though one knows that they are not healthy.
Line by Line Meaning
Ooo, want to but I can't help it
I have a desire but lack the control to resist it
I love the way it feels
The pleasurable sensation is enticing
This got me stuck between my fantasy and what is real
I am unable to differentiate between my imagination and reality
I need it when I want it
My cravings are overbearing
I want it when I don't
Even when I am not in the mood, I still desire it
Tell myself I'll stop everyday
Trying to quit daily
Knowing that I won't
Although I know I should, I won't be able to stop
I got a problem, and I (don't know what to do about it)
I am aware there is an issue with my behavior, but uncertain how to resolve it
Even if I did, I don't know if I would quit
If I found a solution, I might not have the willpower to stick to it
But I doubt it; I'm Taken by the thought of it
Although I am unsure, I am still captivated by it
Baby, you have become my addiction
You are the source of my cravings
I'm so strung out on you
I am addicted to you
I can barely move, but I like it
Although my fixation has its consequences, I am enjoying it
Never get enough
I am unable to control myself from wanting more
She's the sweetest drug
The sensation and desire for my addiction is equal to using a sweet drug
Think of it every second
I am preoccupied with this addiction non-stop
I can't get nothing done
My fixation has impeded my daily tasks
Only concern is the next time I'm gon' get me some
My only agenda is when I will be able to indulge next
Know I should stay away from
I am aware that I should avoid this addiction
'Cause it's no good for me
This addiction has negative consequences for me
I try and try, but my obsession won't let me leave
Despite multiple efforts, I am still fixated on this addiction
Ain't no doubt
I am certain
So strung out
I am heavily addicted
Over you
This addiction is attributed to you
Because of you
This addiction exists due to your influence
