"Love Addict" as written by and Jacob Olds Joshua Olds....
Hold up, wait a minute, put a little love in it
Doctor, doctor, I've got an emergency
It seems I'm head over heels, a case of L-O-V-E
It's like I'm glowing inside
Yeah, a light I can't hide
And if this feeling is bad then I don't wanna be right
What I've got in my soul gives me the highest delight
Oh yeah it's better than drugs
In fact it's sent from above
Hold up, wait a minute, put a little love in it
Hey, can't kick the habit
Yeah, I got to have it
Yeah, I'm what they call a
Love addict, love addict
Hey, can't live without it
Yeah, g'on, shout about it
Hey, I'm a symptomatic
Love addict, love addict
Need a refill 'cause I just can't get enough
I've got a fever, oh yeah and the prescription's love
So lay the truth on me
'Cause that is all that I need
Hold up, wait a minute, put a little love in it
Hey, can't kick the habit
Yeah, I got to have it
Yeah, I'm what they call a
Love addict, love addict
Hey, can't live without it
Yeah, g'on, shout about it
Hey, I'm a symptomatic
Love addict, love addict
I'm blessed, I must confess
My heart is pounding in my chest
'Cause this love's the best
I'm just a love addict
Coming down with something outrageous
Look out now 'cause it's so contagious
This feeling's got me reeling
So amped up that I hit the ceiling
Gotta clear my throat
Now I gotta have some more
Hold up, wait a minute, put a little love in it
Hey, can't kick the habit
Yeah, I got to have it
Yeah, I'm what they call a
Love addict, love addict
Hey, can't live without it
Yeah, g'on, shout about it
Hey, I'm a symptomatic
Love addict, love addict
Can't kick the habit
Yeah, I got to have it
Yeah, I'm what they call a
Love addict, love addict
Hey, can't live without it
Yeah, g'on, shout about it

Ok so first off, the second "Doctor, Doctor" is capitalized (even on the CD lyrics) which refers to Jesus or God.
In the line, "Yeah, a light I can't hide" You can say that love is like light, but in John 1:4-5 it says,
"In *Him* was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it."
That light that he can't hide is love, which is the life in Jesus, LOVE. Two lines down in the first verse it says, "What I've got in my soul gives me the highest delight" I don't think that worldly love has any association with a persons soul, but the love of God saved the souls of men. (Deuteronomy 6:5) Also it says "delight", not satisfaction, not happiness.
Another two lines down the song says, "In fact it's sent from above, huh huh" Is there any other love that comes form "above", other than Gods love? In 1 John 4:8 and 4:16 is states that God is love. He is addicted to God!
When he says he is a symptomatic it means he is showing the symptoms of whatever is inside him. (dictionary.reference.com/browse/…) We all have sin, so I think the prescription to kill that sin is love.
In the second verse in says, "So lay the truth on me,
Cause that is all that I need" The truth is part of the prescription. In John 8:31-32 it says, "Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, If you abide in my word, you are my disciples. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." And again in John (the disciple of love) 14:6 is reads, "Jesus said to him(thomas), "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. "(All NKJV) So Jesus is the truth. I believe that the bible, the word of God, is also the truth. I don't see how a person can put all these attributes into the worlds empty hopeless love. Hope it helped explain things.
And SoulGlow, let the Love of God glow inside of you! "Yeah, a light I can't hide"
-Praise the Lord-
