Addicted Lyrics
Tell your boyfriend, next time he around
To buy his own weed and don't wear my shit down
I wouldn't care if brave would give me some more
I'd rather him leave you then leave him my dro
[Chorus]
When you smoke all my weed, man
You gots to call the green man
So I can get mine
And you get yours
[Verse 2]
Once is enough to make me attack
So bring me a bag and your man can come back
I'll check him at the door, make sure he got green
I'm tighter than airport security teams
[Chorus]
When you smoke all my weed, man
You gots to call the green man
So I can get mine
And you get yours
[Verse 3]
I'm my own man
So when will you learn
That you got a man but I gots to burn?
Don't make no difference if I end up alone
I'd rather have myself and smoke my home grown
Oh, it's got me addicted
Does more than any dick did
Yeah, I can get mine
And you get yours
Hey, I can get mine
And you get yours
About
In the playful “Addicted,” Winehouse narrates her eternal love for marijuana and the anger she felt towards her best friend’s boyfriend who kept stealing her weed. The protagonist best friend is the same person who Winehouse wrote her 2003 “Best Friends, Right?” song about.
The song was created right after the release of her 2003 album Frank before being put aside.
“Addicted” is not Winehouse’s first song dedicated to the psychoactive drug – Frank closes with the peppy “Mr. Magic (Through the Smoke),” which details, as Winehouse once put it, her “substance abuse.”
This song did not feature on the US version of Back to Black, and was replaced with a remix of the US Billboard Hot 100 hit “You Know I’m No Good,” which featured an extra verse from Wu-Tang Clan member Ghostface Killah.
