Ryan Leslie feat. Cassie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm lovin' your smile and
The way you get down
I can't see no one else
It's you by yourself, yea
In spite of the crowd
(Baby no one else matters)
It started off with a kiss (uh huh)
Never expectin' this (uh huh)
And now I'm here copin' with
My addiction (addiction)
It started off with a kiss (uh huh)
Never expectin' this (uh huh)
And now I'm here copin' with
My addiction
While all the girls say
[Chorus]
I'm addicted to you
I'm addicted to you
I'm addicted to you
You're my addiction
I'm addicted to you
I'm addicted to you
I'm addicted to you
You're my addiction
When I'm lookin' in the mirror
Honey, you are all I see
And it could not be no clearer
That I need you here with me
I was hopin you'd notice
The way that I like to
Have you around
Listen and you will find that
Your heart beats for me
Girl, I hear the soun
[Bridge]
While all the girls say
[Chorus]
Hey lemme find out I got you Amy wined out
I get em hooked like I threw a fishing line out
My white girl keep me Federlined out
Im to G so I stay Gucci signed out (gucci)
And I get so much attention
They sit and talk about me like intervention
They say that white phantom look so cocaine
I hop out the suicides lookin' so Kobain
And I just Courtney Love when they know your name
They like loso we already know so damn
They come back one more grams
Right back like Lindsay out the program
When I'm lookin' in the mirror
Honey, you are all I see
And it could not be no clearer
That I need you here with me
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I'm addicted to you [Repeat: x3]
You're my addiction
The lyrics of Ryan Leslie's "Addiction" is about being infatuated with someone that they have become an addiction. Despite the crowd and other people around, the singer only sees the person he is enamored with, wanting them around all the time. The song began with a kiss, unexpectedly turning into him needing this person all the time like a drug. The bridge emphasizes the development of this addiction and the chorus repeats the addiction theme. The song outwardly demonstrates the obsession, a love song portraying the person as the only thing the singer needs, an addiction deeply rooted in his heart.

Cassie voice sounded so much better alongside Ryan’s productions. His tracks brought her smoothness to the forefront

If she'd stayed under his guidance, she'd be the star she wanted. But Diddy was just too huge to resist.
@killflowvibes
I'm actually pretty annoyed Ryan Leslie never blew up like he should have, he's really talented
@patchesohoulihan7593
He's a producer and song writer him , Neyo and Keri hilson been relevant way before they blew up with their own hit singles
@killflowvibes
Steve Briggins no no I know, but I mean mainstream success. Sure he probably doesn't care because he's making money regardless if its in the public eye. But I really did like his music and artistry and he kinda fell from the scene of making his own music and not just song writing. After I saw the making of the song "Addiction" and how much musical genius the man had I was pretty excited to hear more from him, but he hasn't made music in a few years I believe
@imancharleston6545
Ikr. It really bothers me that he didn't blow up. He is so talented and i loved his music.
