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   Gotta write it down and send it right away   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   Gotta write it down and send it right away
