Lyrics
Hooked
words and music by Alan Cartee & Jon Moore
copyright and publishing 2003 Cartee Day Entertainment
It?s a good thing I?m not hooked on you baby
Waiting for you is driving me crazy
Wring my hands and moan and walk the floor
Takes you forever to knock on my door
It?s a good thing I?m not hooked on you baby
It?s a real good thing, I?m not hooked on you
A little taste of your love leaves me hungry for more
Got me strung out and I?m begging for more
Say you?ll be back but you?re not sure when
I swear your love is gonna do me in
Chorus
It?s a good thing I?m not hooked on you baby
Waiting for you is driving me crazy
Wring my hands and moan and walk the floor
Takes you forever to knock on my door
It?s a good thing I?m not hooked on you baby
It?s a real good thing, I?m not hooked on you
It?s a good thing I?m not hooked on you baby
It?s a real good thing,
I?m not hooked, I?m not hooked, I?m not hooked
I?m not hooked? on you
