Lyrics

Like A Drug

Since you're gone, I sat at home wonder, "Why?"
No, I'll never be free
But the thought of you goin' with another guy
No, it could never be me

You took a ring and pawned our love away
What can I say? I am left behind
So I take a drink, another cigarette
I can't forget that you once were mine

What can I say? I guess it wasn't meant to be, oh
But now you're gone, it's just, your love is like a drug
Oh yeah

It's been so long, your folks have bet you're gone
But I know that you're alive inside
So I hope and pray you won't throw this love away
I just wish that you still were mine

What can I say? I guess it wasn't meant to be, oh
But now you're gone, it's just, your love is like a drug
Oh yeah
