All alone in the still of my apartment
D-Double take apparitions in the darkness, oh
There you are I'm a fiend I gotta have it

Need a fix, my dangerous habit, oh

You are my gateway drug

You pull me down you mess me up
You are my gateway drug
You give me a taste for the harder stuff

And I don't wanna stop

Innocent, I was naive when we started

Got so high we descended to dependence
Quitting is so hard
Cold sweat, I'm shaking with my teeth clenched

Appetite for the rush the thrill I need it, oh

You are my gateway drug

You pull me down you mess me up
You are my gateway drug
You give me a taste for the harder stuff

And I don't wanna stop
No I don't wanna stop


You're breathing on my neck and I feel weak
The lights that burn my eyes play hide and seek
I get a little closer to you,

and you move a little closer to me

All alone in the still of my apartment

D-Double take apparitions in the darkness,
I lose myself in you


You are my gateway drug
You pull me down you $#&@ me up
You are my gateway drug

I can't tell when I've had enough
You are my gateway drug,
Drag me down to a deeper love


I don't wanna stop
(I don't wanna stop)

No I don't wanna stop
