Got to write a classic 
 Got to write it in an attic 
 Baby, I'm an addict now 
 An addict for your love 
    I was a stray boy 
 And you was my best toy 
 Found it easy to annoy you 
 But you were different from the rest   
 And I loved you all the wrong ways 
 Now listen to my say 
 If it changed to another way 
 Would the difference make it? 
 Would it be a classic? 
 I gotta send it right away   
 Got to write a classic 
 (So down and I'm outta control without your love) 
 Got to write it in an attic 
 (My blood can't flow, there's no living without you) 
 Baby, I'm an addict now 
 (Deep down I know, you're not hearing a word I say) 
 I'm an addict for your love   
 (Gotta write it down and send it right away)   
 Got to write a classic 
 (So down and I'm outta control without your love) 
 Got to write it in an attic 
 (My blood can't flow, there's no living without you) 
 Babe, I'm an addict now 
 (Deep down I know, you're not hearing a word I say) 
 I'm an addict for your love   
 Now I'm living my life 
 One day at a time 
 Since losing your love 
 I've been losing my mind 
 No more can I see 
 The future so clear 
 And it's not what I mean 
 I mean it's not what it seems 
 I just keep living for dreams   
 And it's not what I mean 
 I mean it's not what it seems 
 I just keep living for dreams
