On this midtempo synthpop track, Taylor compares being in love to drug addiction.
The track notably has significant sonic and thematic similarities to Hozier’s 2013 track, “Take Me To Church,” from which it may have drawn inspiration. More broadly, the comparison of love to a drug has appeared in many popular songs over the years, including Kesha’s 2010 track “Your Love Is My Drug” and 2013’s “Dark Horse,” by Taylor’s former rival, Katy Perry.
Lyrics
[Chorus]
Don't blame me, love made me crazy If it doesn't, you ain't doin' it right Lord, save me, my drug is my baby I'll be usin' for the rest of my life
[Verse 1]
I've been breakin' hearts a long time And toyin' with them older guys Just playthings for me to use Something happened for the first time In the darkest little paradise Shakin', pacin', I just need you
[Pre-Chorus]
For you, I would cross the line I would waste my time I would lose my mind They say, "She's gone too far this time"
[Chorus]
Don't blame me, love made me crazy If it doesn't, you ain't doin' it right Lord, save me, my drug is my baby I'll be usin' for the rest of my life Don't blame me, love made me crazy If it doesn't, you ain't doin' it right Oh, Lord, save me, my drug is my baby I'll be usin' for the rest of my life
[Verse 2]
My name is whatever you decide And I'm just gonna call you mine I'm insane, but I'm your baby (Your baby) Echoes of your name inside my mind Halo hiding my obsession I once was poison ivy, but now I'm your daisy
[Pre-Chorus 2 ] And baby, for you, I would fall from grace Just to touch your face If you walk away, I'd beg you on my knees to stay
[Chorus]
Don't blame me, love made me crazy If it doesn't, you ain't doin' it right Lord, save me, my drug is my baby I'll be usin' for the rest of my life Don't blame me, love made me crazy If it doesn't, you ain't doin' it right Oh, Lord, save me, my drug is my baby I'll be usin' for the rest of my life
[Bridge]
I get so high, oh! Every time you're, every time you're lovin' me You're lovin' me Trip of my life, oh! Every time you're, every time you're touchin' me You're touchin' me Every time you're, every time you're lovin' me Oh, Lord, save me My drug is my baby I'll be usin' for the rest of my life (Usin' for the rest of my life, oh!)
[Chorus]
Don't blame me, love made me crazy If it doesn't, you ain't doin' it right (Doin' it right, no!) Lord, save me, my drug is my baby I'll be usin' for the rest of my life, oh Don't blame me, love made me crazy If it doesn't, you ain't doin' it right (You ain't doin' it right) Oh, Lord, save me, my drug is my baby I'll be usin' for the rest of my life (I'll be usin', I'll be usin')
[Outro]
I get so high, oh! Every time you're, every time you're lovin' me You're lovin' me Oh, Lord, save me, my drug is my baby I'll be usin' for the rest of my life
