All I wanna do is just explain 
Why that we feel the way we do
What a joy to share with you 
For me to live is Christ, to die is gain 
If anymore I need to say 
The list goes on and on all day 
I'll cherish that moment for life 
And I know it might sound crazy 
It's alright, take a seat, hold tight 

Time to admit 
Time we should admit it
I'm so addicted, yeah 
You see, He's taken my heart 
And showed me the right way 
No doubt about it 
Doubt it, no doubt
See, I'm lost without it, yeah 
You see this love takes me higher 
I didn't know why then 
I found it was addictive love, yeah

Now that we've evened up the score 
Hey, what do you mean there's so much more 
I need to tell why we adore 
The reason why I smile when I, when I wake up 
And also the reason why I dream 
Reason why I dream
My love, my joy, my everything 
And I'll cherish that moment for life 
And I know it might sound crazy
It's alright, take a seat, hold tight 

Time to admit 
Time we should admit it
I'm so addicted, yeah 
You see, He's taken my heart 
Taken my heart, y'all
And showed me the right way 
There's no doubt about it, no
Doubt it, no doubt
I'm lost without it, yeah 
You see this love takes me higher 
I didn't know why then 
You see I found it was addictive love

So much love 
He's given to me everything I longed for 
Everything I need 
That means I'm never alone, so glad 
And everything I've dreamed and much more 
So much more 
And I'll cherish that moment for life 
For the rest of my life, yeah, yeah 
And I know it might sound crazy but, no 
I'm not crazy 
I've never known anyone to love me quite the way you do 
And I tell you 
It's hopeless, I've finally  noticed that 
I'm just forever addicted, forever 
Forever in love, 

Time to admit 
Time we should admit it
Hold tight 
You see, He's taken my heart 
And showed me the right way 
Showed me the way
There's no doubt about it  
Show me the right way
See, I'm lost without it, yeah 
You see this love takes me higher 
Higher
I didn't know why then 
I didn't know why, I didn't know I was addicted

Time to admit
Time we should admit it
Hey, yes, I am 
You see, He's taken my heart 
My heart
And showed me the right way 
Showed me the way
There's no doubt about it 
Doubt it, no doubt
See, I'm lost without it, yeah 
You see this love takes me higher 
A little bit higher
I didn't know why then 

Time to admit 
Time we should admit it
I'm so addicted, yeah 
You see, He's taken my heart 
Taken my heart, y'all
And showed me the right way 
Showed me the way
