ADDICTION

©2008 Alex Shapiro (ASCAP)
Published by Activist Music (ASCAP)

You came knockin’ here
Like you did last year
When I kicked your ass right out the door
Now you’re back again
My dangerous friend
Won’t be the last time I’m sure

I’m so into you
Because you’re into me
We’re into something bad
I don’t know what to do
It ain’t like I don’t see
You’re the worst thing I could ever have

If I were strong you would be long gone
I would not listen to your tempting little voice
I know it’s so bad I know it's wrong
Addiction to you, addiction to you
Addiction is my drug of choice

I can’t draw the line
That I can’t even find
I’ve painted myself into a corner
Just when I think it’s safe
To make my great escape
You catch my eye and I know that I’m a goner

I’m so good to you
But you’re so damn bad for me
I’m going down, down, down
You’re a pro at what you do
I’m sick and crazy over you
You take rock bottom way below ground

If I were strong you would be long gone
I would not listen to your sexy little voice
I know it’s so bad I know it's wrong
Addiction to you, addiction to you
Addiction is my drug of choice

Friends tell me what I shouldn’t
And they tell me what I should
You’re a real bad habit
But you feel so good

If I were strong you would be long gone
I would not listen to your smart ass little voice
I know it’s so bad I know it's wrong
Addiction to you, addiction to you
Addiction is my drug of choice
