Gonna write a classic

Gonna write it in an attic

Babe, I'm an addict now

An addict for your love

I was a stray boy

And you was my best toy

Found it easy to annoy you

But you were different from the rest

And I loved you all the wrong ways

Now listen to my say

If it changed to another way

Would the difference make it

Would it be a classic

I gotta send it right away

Expressing my words

One bridge at a time

Then tearing them up

'Cause they never rhyme

Alone in my room

So far from your love

Whatever I write

That's not good enough

And it's not what I mean

I mean it's not what it seems

I just keep living for dreams

Gonna write a classic

Gonna write it in an attic

Babe, I'm an addict now

An addict for your love

Got to write a classic

Got to write it in an attic

Babe, I'm an addict now

An addict for your love

Now I'm living my life

One day at a time

Since losing your love

I've been losing my mind

No more can I see

The future so clear

And it's not what I mean

I mean it's not what it seems

I just keep living for dreams

And it's not what I mean

I mean it's not what it seems

I just keep living for dreams

Gonna write a classic

Gonna write it in an attic

Babe, I'm an addict now

I'm an addict for your love

Gonna write a classic

Gonna write it in an attic

Babe, I'm an addict now

I'm an addict for your love

Gotta write it down and send it right away
