Addicted To Love Lyrics
Your mind is not your own
Your heart sweats, your body shakes
Another kiss is what it takes
There's no doubt, you're in deep
Your throat is tight, you can't breathe
Another kiss is all you need
You're runnin' at a different speed
You heart beats in double time
Another kiss and you'll be mine, a one track mind
Oblivion is all you crave
If there's some left for you
You don't mind if you do
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Your will is not your own
You're heart sweats and teeth grind
Another kiss and you'll be mine
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love

Creepy thing about this song, is that you can change "Love" to "Crack", and "Kiss" to "Hit", and it's the same fucking song.
Well yeah. He's comparing being in love to drug addiction after all.

Evin....Good point. Could also be cocaine. "You can't sleep, you can't eat....You heart beats in double time." Could also change "Love" to "Coke" and "Kiss" to "Sniff."

I think this song is very simple.
It's not about drugs. It's just comparing addiction habits to being in love. And the comparison fits.

Palmer stated in interviews in 1986 that the song was originally intended to be about drugs, it may have been in People Magazine when they interviewed him, based on his experiences while living in the Bahamas. He changed to "Love" because a song about drug addiction was too dark and because he felt that the overwhelming feeling of new love has some of the same attributes as drug addiction.

This song is in fact about narcotics and addiction. Palmer has even said as much in multiple interviews.
This song is not about a girl. It's about drugs.

You could substitute it for any form of addiction. For a fat kid you can substitute love for cake and so on and so forth.

In no way is this song about drugs, it's about love, not drugs.
Perhaps what atirey is trying to say is that love itself is a drug Chevy Truck Guy. The same chemicals are created in the brain. Seritonin, Oxytocin, Pufferfish Zombie Blow, Etc.

It is about drugs. And love. It's about being addicted - what you're addicted to is irrelevant. The addiction is the key thing. Having an obsession due to your addictive personality is what Palmer was trying to describe.

Uhm which is it then? I'm immune to all of it. :)

I have never used drugs but do drug addicts think they're immune to the stuff? I took it as sex addiction, which someone likes to think hasn't got a hold on them. Either way, being in any addiction is to be strenuously avoided because as the song says "your will is not your own".

How observant. Never thought bout that before.
