Love Is My Disease Lyrics
Alicia Keys
Lyrics
When you're gone it feels like
My whole world's gone with you
I thought love would be my cure
But now it's my disease
I try to act mature
But I'm a baby when you leave
How can I ever get used to being without you
(Yeah)
Baby, baby, baby
Am I addicted
When I need you here all the time
And I'm not sure if this is healthy
Is it a sickness?
Cuz I feel like I'm losing my mind
And I know that there's no medicine
Nothing I can take, no remedy
Baby, please stay
(Ohohoohh)
When you're gone it feels like
My whole world's gone with you
I thought love would be my cure
But now it's my disease
I try to act mature
But I'm a baby when you leave
How can I ever get used to being without you?
Oh oh oh baby, baby, baby, baby
I get a fever
Just the thought of you leaving my side
Ohohhhh and I'm not the same till you're back holding me
That's all I need
(Oh yeah)
When you're gone it feels like
(When you're gone baby)
My whole world's gone with you
(Gone with you)
I thought love would be my cure
But now it's my disease
(My disease)
I try to act mature
But I'm a baby when you leave
How can I ever get used to being without you
Here's what I'm going through when you're gone
Some serious symptoms of withdrawal
Tossing and turning in my bed
Waking up drenched in a cold sweat
Lying here lonely for you
What am I supposed to do
When I'm stuck and I can't get enough of your love
Ohohhh, baby
When you're gone it feels like
(When you're gone baby)
My whole world's gone with you
(Gone with you)
I thought love would be my cure
But now it's my disease
(My disease)
I try to act mature
But I'm a baby when you leave
How can I ever get used to being without you
