Junkie Lyrics

I know how to wear the costume
I know how to wear the mask
I even like the feel of having to ask

I like the sound of your whistle
I like the way you wear your grin
I even like the taste of my will caving in

I'm not a junkie for your love, I'm not a junkie
I'm not a junkie for your love, I'm not a junkie

Don't tell the captain
Don't you tell him what I've done
(Keep it coming)
(Keep it coming)
Stop

This is such a sweet collaboration
You've got the power, I got the shame
Funny thing is we both want somebody to blame

I'm not a junkie for your love, I'm not a junkie
I'm not a junkie for your love, I'm not a junkie

Don't tell the captain
Don't you tell him what I've done

(Keep it coming)
(Keep it coming)

I'm not a junkie for your love, I'm not a junkie
I'm not a junkie for your love, I'm not a junkie

Go tell the captain won't you tell him what I've done

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

It sounds like a dominate/submissive relationship type of song, or just really kinky sex. The part where she's going "Don't tell the captain, don't you tell him what I've done" could be part of a roleplay situation, like in this relationship, their roleplay was about a captain's wife having an affair? It's a trippy song.

I think she's in a relationship with someone that might not be the best for her. She loves him, loves being loved by him, but sees problems. I think this might be a plugging-her-ears, la-la-la type of song. Trying to convince herself that she's not just staying in the relationship because she's addicted to his love. Trying to justify things and convince herself that she's in it for the right reasons, but ultimately knowing that she's lying to herself.
