Takes One To Know One
Love's Addiction: Unveiling the Depths of Desperation
Lyrics
Why are there bags under your eyes
The speaker questions physical signs of tiredness or stress.
If you're staying straight?
Asking why someone appears sober despite engaging in questionable behavior.
Why is he in between your legs
Suggests infidelity or intimacy with another person.
If you want me to stay?
Asking why someone is involving others while claiming to desire the speaker's presence.
Why are there bags under your eyes
Repetition of the initial questions to emphasize the confusion and doubt about the situation.
If you're staying straight?
-Why is he in between your legs
-If you want me to stay?
-Why are there bags under your eyes
-If you're staying straight?
-Why is he in between your legs
-If you want me to stay?
-You think you're in love with me
Belief in the other's love, though the speaker doubts it.
But I think absence makes the heart grow fonder
Expresses a common saying about distance enhancing affection.
I'm stuck in prison while you're giving out your body
The speaker feels confined or trapped while the other is freely giving themselves to fulfill desires.
Just to stay high longer
Suggests the other person uses substances to prolong their pleasurable state.
Why are there bags under your eyes
Repetition of the initial questions to emphasize the confusion and doubt about the situation.
If you're staying straight?
-Why is he in between your legs
-If you want me to stay?
-Why are there bags under your eyes
-If you're staying straight?
-Why is he in between your legs
-If you want me to stay?
-Shooting dope while telling me
The speaker notices deceit as the other claims sobriety but behaves otherwise.
That sobriety is going really well
-You act like I'm stupid when we visit
-As if I could not tell
-I know you're still a junkie
Repeated acknowledgment of the other's addiction and a recognition that the speaker shares a similar experience.
It takes one to know one
-I know you're still a junkie
-It takes one to know one
-I know you're still a junkie
-It takes one to know one
-I know you're still a junkie
-Why are there bags under your eyes
Repetition of the initial questions to emphasize the confusion and doubt about the situation.
If you're staying straight?
-Why is he in between your legs
-If you want me to stay?
-Why are there bags under your eyes
-If you're staying straight?
-Why is he in between your legs
-If you want me to
-If you want me to stay?
Reiterating the question of whether the person truly wants the speaker to stay despite their conflicting actions.
