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 fuck 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
