It's not something that I can find in an alley,
It's not something that I can drink in a bar,
It's not something that I can find on the streets,
And it's not something that I can hide under the front seat of my car.
It's a thing called love, and I'm addicted.

It's not something that I can shoot up my vein,
It's not something that I can "score",
It's not something that I can snort up my nose,
And it's not something that I can get arrested for.
It's a thing called love, and I'm addicted.

It's not something that I have to smuggle,
It's not something that I have to buy,
It's not something that friends smoke in a circle,
And it's not something that can be prescribed.
It's a thing called love, and I'm addicted.

It's not something that kills brain cells,
It's not something that has harsh side effects,
It's not something that will waste my money,
It's not something that causes birth defects.
It's a thing called love, and I'm addicted.

It's not something that will make me harm others,
It's not something with a twelve-step plan,
It won't make me forget my troubles,
And it won't make me any less of a man.
It's a thing called love, and I'm addicted.

It's not something that I can control,
Although it does have control over me,
It's not going to keep me bonded,
But it might possibly set me free.
It's a thing called love, and I'm addicted.

It makes me feel relaxed,
And, yes, it gets me high,
Every one if its addictions is different,
So it is something that YOU will have to try.
It's a thing called love, and I'm addicted.
It's a thing called love, and I'm addicted.
