Addicted To Love by Robert Palmer
Your lights are on, but you're not home
Your mind is not your own
Your heart sweats, your body shakes
Another kiss is what it takes
You cant sleep, you cant eat
Theres no doubt, youre in deep
Your throat is tight, you cant breathe
Another kiss is all you need
Whoa, you like to think that youre immune to the stuff,
ohYeah
Its closer to the truth to say you cant get enough,
you know youre gonna have to face it, youre addicted to love
You see the signs, but you cant read
Youre runnin at a different speed
You heart beats in double time
Another kiss and youll be mine, a one track mind
You cant be saved
Oblivion is all you crave
If theres some left for you
You dont mind if you do
Whoa, you like to think that youre immune to the stuff,
oh Yeah
Its closer to the truth to say you cant get enough,
you know youreGonna have to face it, youre addicted to love
Might as well face it, youre addicted to love
Your lights are on, but youre not home
Your will is not your own
Youre heart sweats and teeth grind
Another kiss and youll be mine
Whoa, you like to think that youre immune to the stuff,
oh Yeah
Its closer to the truth to say you cant get enough,
you know youre gonna have to face it, youre addicted to love
Might as well face it, youre addicted to love
