Lyrics

Crave

(Verse 1)
You're all the things I want
Everything I need
You're my addiction
I've been losing sleep
Tryong to find my way back to you
Never thought that I could hurt someone the way I did you wrong
Never thought that I would ever find myself without you

(Chorus)
I crave you like a drug
Heal me with your touch
When I feel your touch
It never is enough
I used to have my doubts, but now I've figured out
I don't want no one else, gotta have you to myself

(Verse 2)
I can't get out of bed
Got an achin' in my head
Oh, I got it bad
Spend the night with me and you will see
How good we are together
Never thought that I could fall so hard, the way I've fallen now
Never thought that I could love someone but you're the only one

(Chorus)
I crave you like a drug
Heal me with your touch
When I feel your touch
It never is enough
I used to have my doubts, but now I've figured out
I don't want no one else, gotta have you to myself

(Bridge)
There's nothing left inside me but you now
I need you to lift me, I've fallen so low
I want to help you forget about yesterday, I'm here to stay
Let me take it all away
I'm gonna hold on, and never let you go

(Chorus)
I crave you like a drug
Heal me with your touch
When I feel your touch
It never is enough
I used to have my doubts, but now I've figured out
I don't want no one else, gotta have you to myself
