Lyrics
Addiction
I can't help it, I got no reserve
Drugs seem crazy, no good for my health
I've seen a doctor, he's come to look at me
If you don't believe me, don't proceed
Closer all the time
Closer all the time
Closer all the time
Closer all the time
Stop I'm saying that I need you girl
I need you like a drug to keep my feel
I can handle everything I do
Now I'm hooked and only good to you
Closer all the time
Closer all the time
Closer all the time
Closer all the time
You just have to look me in the eye
I come running, I don't know why
It's an addiction, an image of love
Your heart pushing angel from above
Closer all the time
Closer all the time
Closer all the time
Closer all the time
Closer all the time
Closer all the time
Close!
