ADDICTION:

© 1996 by Lydia Glider-Shelley
Verse 1:
I’ve done all kinds of drugs in my lifetime, I’ve tried every up every down...
But it’s not a drug that really gets me goin’
It’s just havin’ you around!
Well Cocaine only gave me a migraine,
and Codeine makes me itch:
Drinkin’ makes me stupid, and sometimes even bad,
Comin’ down from drugs can be a bitch!

Chorus #1:
But then there’s you, and your love is true!
You make it so hard to even sing the blues:
And baby, when you’re away
I feel more pain every day...
You’re an addiction I don’t wanna lose!

Verse 2:
I’ve played all kinds of games in my lifetime; I’ve had many losses and many wins!
But it’s not a game that gets me so excited,
It’s just havin’ you within!
Now poker just made me broker,
and the ponies made me cry:
Lotto makes me foolish, and sometimes even sad...
Gamblin’ can leave me high and dry!

Chorus #2:
Ah but then there’s you, and your love is true!
Makin’ it so hard to even sing the blues:
‘ cause baby when you’re away
I feel more pain every day...
You’re an addiction I don’t wanna lose!

Verse 3:
I’ve ate all kinds of junk food in my lifetime,
I’ve had Coca Cola and Mountain Dew...
but it’s not a soft drink
that really makes me happy...
it’s just spending time with you!

Now batter just made me fatter!
And the diets make me sick!
Red meat makes me sluggish,
and sometimes even MAD!
Overeating happens oh so quick!

Repeat chorus #1
tag: Yeah, you’re an addiction
I don’t wanna lose!
