Baby, baby When we first met, I never felt something so strong You were like my lover and my best friend All wrapped in one with a ribbon on it And all of a sudden you went and left I didn't know how to follow It's like a shock that spun me around And now my heart's dead I feel so empty and hollow And I never gave myself to another the way I gave it to you You don't even recognize the ways you hurt me, do you? It's gonna take a miracle to bring me back And you're the one to blame And now I feel like Oh, you're the reason why I'm thinking I don't wanna smoke on these cigarettes no more I guess that's what I get for wishful thinking I should've never let you enter my door Next time you wanna go on and leave I should just let you go on and do it Cause now I'm using like I bleed [Chorus] It's like I checked into rehab And, baby, you're my disease It's like I checked into rehab And, baby, you're my disease I gotta check into rehab Cause, baby, you're my disease I gotta check into rehab Cause, baby, you're my disease Damn, ain't it crazy when you're love swept? You'd do anything for the one you love Cause anytime that you needed me I'd be there It's like you were my favorite drug The only problem is that you was using me In a different way than I was using you But now that I know it's not meant to be It gotta go, I gotta wean myself off of you And I never gave myself to another the way I gave it to you You don't even recognize the way you hurt me, do you? It's gonna take a miracle to bring me back And you're the one to blame Cause now I feel like Oh, you're the reason why I'm thinking I don't wanna smoke on these cigarettes no more I guess that's what I get for wishful thinking I should've never let you enter my door Next time you wanna go on and leave I should just let you go on and do it Cause now I'm using like I bleed [Chorus] (Uh, uh, now, ladies, gimme that) Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh (Uh, now gimme that) Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh (My ladies, gimme that) Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh (Uh, now gimme that) Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, you're the reason why I'm thinking I don't wanna smoke on these cigarettes no more I guess that's what I get for wishful thinking I should've never let you enter my door Next time you wanna go on and leave I should just let you go on and do it Cause now I'm using like I bleed [Chorus]
