Love is like a Drug

Rhianna & Justin Timberlake - Rehab

'Rehab' is a metaphorical song. Checking ourselves into rehab, simply implies us getting over either a past or current complicated relationship and comparing it to an addiction or disease.

Song Lyrics:

Baby, baby

When we first met, I never felt something so strong

You were like my lover and my best friend

All wrapped in one with a ribbon on it

And all of a sudden you went and left

I didn't know how to follow

It's like a shock that spun me around

And now my heart's dead

I feel so empty and hollow

And I never gave myself to another the way I gave it to you

You don't even recognize the ways you hurt me, do you?

It's gonna take a miracle to bring me back

And you're the one to blame

And now I feel like

Oh, you're the reason why I'm thinking

I don't wanna smoke on these cigarettes no more

I guess that's what I get for wishful thinking

I should've never let you enter my door

Next time you wanna go on and leave

I should just let you go on and do it

'Cause now I'm using like I bleed

It's like I checked into rehab

And, baby, you're my disease

It's like I checked into rehab

And, baby, you're my disease

I gotta check into rehab

'Cause, baby, you're my disease

I gotta check into rehab

'Cause, baby, you're my disease

Damn, ain't it crazy when you're love swept?

You'd do anything for the one you love

'Cause anytime that you needed me I'd be there

It's like you were my favorite drug

The only problem is that you was using me

In a different way than I was using you

But now that I know it's not meant to be

It gotta go, I gotta wean myself off of you

And I never gave myself to another the way I gave it to you

You don't even recognize the way you hurt me, do you?

It's gonna take a miracle to bring me back

And you're the one to blame

'Cause now I feel like

Oh, you're the reason why I'm thinking

I don't wanna smoke on these cigarettes no more

I guess that's what I get for wishful thinking

I should've never let you enter my door

Next time you wanna go on and leave

I should just let you go on and do it

'Cause now I'm using like I bleed

It's like I checked into rehab

And, baby, you're my disease

It's like I checked into rehab

And, baby, you're my disease

I gotta check into rehab

'Cause, baby, you're my disease

I gotta check into rehab

'Cause, baby, you're my disease

(Uh, uh, now, ladies, gimme that)

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh

(Uh, now gimme that)

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh

(My ladies, gimme that)

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh

(Uh, now gimme that)

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, you're the reason why I'm thinking

I don't wanna smoke on these cigarettes no more

I guess that's what I get for wishful thinking

I should've never let you enter my door

Next time you wanna go on and leave

I should just let you go on and do it

'Cause now I'm using like I bleed

It's like I checked into rehab

And, baby, you're my disease

It's like I checked into rehab

And, baby, you're my disease

I gotta check into rehab

'Cause, baby, you're my disease

I gotta check into rehab

'Cause, baby, you're my disease
