BECAUSE I’M ADDICTED

The more I want to back away

The more my legs bring me close

Though you tend to cause me delay

Memories say it is you I chose

The sun darkens my skin, yet I remain

Because I am addicted

The rain dampens my feet, I never refrain

Because I am addicted

Never again will I do it

But because of this addiction

I go back there to eat

Oh!! free me from this sensation

It takes my strength, yet I cleave

Because I am addicted

It seizes my breath, yet I can’t leave

Because I am addicted
