Wanting you
Needing you has brought my life such misery
Never fails hasn't changed
Perhaps it's just my destiny
Learning how to love's the key
Falling in love always ruins me
Obsession is its name
And addiction is its game
I'm telling you
Never again
Never again
Ooh
Never again
Can't see myself in love again
Now it's time to be your friend
Learning is a better way
Falling in love is a losing game
Never go down that road again
I've been there before
I don't want it no more
No more
Obsession is its name
And addiction is its game
I'm telling you
Never again
Never again
Obsession is it's name
And addiction is its game
I'm telling you
Never again
Never again
Never, never, never, never
Never again
Never, never, never, never
Never again
