Addicted To Love Lyrics

Your lights are on, but you're not home
Your mind is not your own
Your heart sweats, your body shakes
Another kiss is what it takes

You can't sleep, you can't eat
There's no doubt, you're in deep
Your throat is tight, you can't breathe
Another kiss is all you need

Woah, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah

It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough, you know you're

Gonna have to face it, you're addicted to love

You see the signs, but you can't read
You're runnin' at a different speed
You heart beats in double time
Another kiss and you'll be mine, a one track mind

You can't be saved
Oblivion is all you crave
If there's some left for you
You don't mind if you do

Woah, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah

It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough, you know you're

Gonna have to 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
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love

Your lights are on, but you're not home
Your will is not your own
You're heart sweats and teeth grind
Another kiss and you'll be mine

Woah, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah

It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough, you know you're

Gonna have to 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
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.

Not Valid

@evin As did Bryan Ferry before him

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.

Cover art for Addicted To Love lyrics by Robert Palmer

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.

@Alastor not really, he said it's about an addictive personality.

Cover art for Addicted To Love lyrics by Robert Palmer

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.

Song Meaning

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.

Cover art for Addicted To Love lyrics by Robert Palmer

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. :)

Not Valid
Cover art for Addicted To Love lyrics by Robert Palmer

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".

My Interpretation

How observant. Never thought bout that before.
