Every kiss, every hug

I'm addicted to your charms

I used to think your love was something that I could take or leave alone

But now I couldn't do without my supply

I need you for my own

Oh, I can't break away
Conveying an inability to break free from the emotional attachment.
I must have you every day
Declaring a daily necessity for the presence of the loved one.
As regularly as coffee or tea

You've got me in your clutches

And I can't get free

Can't break it

You've got me in your clutches

Like getting shut-eye,
Introducing a simile comparing the necessity of the loved one to the need for sleep.
You are what I need

Eternally, ohhh! my
