[intro] [Verse 1] [fingerstyle acoustic guitar enters] You're like a substance to me I feel relaxed but euphorically I'm not supposed to talk about these things But I can't deny you're a habit I don't want to quit You're like a substance to me Money can't buy it from you Guess I have to earn it but I Don't know how to predict your mood [Chorus] [vocal intensity increases] It's you got a hold on me It's been like this for more than a quarter of a century And I still don't know What do you want me? Do you pity me? Or am I the best thing that ever happened? [Bridge] [softer vocal delivery] But I'd quit you today If it meant that you felt free If I was holding you down Would you tell me? [vocal builds to a belt] I just want you to be happy But nobody in this house knows happy Nobody knows happy like me [Outro] [high-energy belted vocals] Let's leave the past to be claimed Let's go enjoy ourselves again Go dancing without wine and of course have an amazingly good time
