Ne-Yo - Because Of You

Want to but I can't help it I love the way it feels
난 멈추고 싶지만 이 느낌이 너무 좋아
It's got me stuck between my fantasy and what is real
환상과 현실 사이에 빠졌어
I need it when I want it I want it when I don't
난 필요해 내가 필요할 때와 내가 필요하지 않을 때
Tell myself I'd stop everyday knowing that I won't
매일 나 자신에게 그만하라 타이르지만 멈출수 없어
 I've got a problem and I (don't know what to do about it)
문제가 생겼어 (하지만 어떻게 해야 할지 모르겠어)
Even if I did I don't know if I would quit..
해결법을  알아도 내가 그렇게 할수 있을지..
But I doubt and I'm taken by the thought of it

아마 못 할거야, 난 그 생각 뿐인걸

And I know this much is true
이건 정말 진실된거야
Baby, you have become my addiction
너에게 중독되었어
I'm so strung out on you

난 너에게 빠졌어
 I can barely move but I like it
 난 어찌할 수 없지만 괜찮아

 And it's all because of you (all because of you)
 이건 모두 너 때문이야 (모두 너 때문이야)
 So and it's all because of you (all because of you)
 그래 이건 모두 너 때문이야 (모두 너 때문이야)
 And it's all because of you (all because of you)
 이건 모두 너 때문이야 (모두 너 때문이야)
 So and it's all because never get enough
 그래 이건 절대 만족하지 못하기 때문이야
 She's the sweetest drug
 그녀는 달콤한 마약이야

 Think of it every second I can't get nothing done
 매 1초마다 너를 생각해 난 아무것도 할 수 없어
 Only concern is the next time I'm Gon get me some
 다음에 널 만났을때 널 가질수 있을지만 생각해
Know I should stay away from cause it's no good for me
 너를 잊어야만한다는걸 알아, 나에게 안 좋으니까

 I try and try but my obsession won't let me leave
 노력하고 또 노력하지만 집념이 날 못떠나게 해,
 I've got a problem and I (don't know what to do about it)
 문제가 생겼어 (하지만 어떻게 해야 할지 모르겠어)

 Even if I did I don't know if I would quit..
 해결법을 알아도 내가 그렇게 할수 있을지..
 But I doubt and I'm taken by the thought of it
 아마 못 할거야, 난 그 생각 뿐인걸

 And I know this much is true
 이건 정말 진실된거야
 Baby, you have become my addiction
 너에게 중독되었어
 I'm so strung out on you
 난 너에게 빠졌어
 I can barely move but I like it
 난 어찌할 수 없지만 괜찮아

 And it's all because of you (all because of you)
 이건 모두 너 때문이야 (모두 너 때문이야)
 So and it's all because of you (all because of you)
 그래 이건 모두 너 때문이야 (모두 너 때문이야)
 And it's all because of you (all because of you)
 이건 모두 너 때문이야 (모두 너 때문이야)
 So and it's all because never get enough
 그래 이건 절대 만족하지 못하기 때문이야
 She's the sweetest drug
 그녀는 달콤한 마약이야

  Ain't no doubt so strung out
 정말로 확실하게 중독되었어
 Ain't no doubt so strung out
 정말로 확실하게 중독되었어
over you, over you, over you...
너에게, 너에게, 너에게...

Because of you
너 때문이야

And it's all because of you never get enough
절대로 만족하지 못하기 때문이야
She is the sweetest drug
그녀는 달콤한 마약이야

she is the sweetest drug

그녀는 달콤한 마약이야

"Because of You" is a 2007 song by singer and songwriter Ne-Yo. It is the first single from his Second album of the same name. The single started radio play the week of February 4, 2007

Five other versions of the song have surfaced, one with an extended ending, one featuring rapper AC, S-One, Michael Jackson as well as Joe Budden; a second one features Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. The official remix, however, features Kanye West. The song debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at number 84 in March;[3] it reached the top ten in May when it climbed from number 39 to number 5 in one week.[4] The song has become his second-most successful song in the U.S., after his 2006 #1 hit So Sick. It reached a peak at number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It also peaked at number 4 in the UK.

The beat used is somehow unique in the R&B style. The main melodic instruments include muted harpsichord and guitar, whilst the groove uses a bass/clap beat combined together. The groove is heavily influenced by the disco style guitar with delay. The bass/clap beat, mixed with hapsichaord, gave listeners an initial impression of the song being a remix, with which the effect is typically associated. This type of beat would later appear in Ne-Yo's 2008 hit Closer, which uses guitar with a bass/clap beat mixed with keyboard and chorus matching the vocals.

The song's music video premiered on Access Granted on March 14, 2007, a sneak preview having previously been shown on BET. A small clip of the video has also been shown on TRL. The video has garnered over 15 million views on YouTube.

The song was featured in the 2007 film Are We Done Yet?, as well as the video game Grand Theft Auto IV.

The song lyrics describe the need to be with more than one person, and the hardship in maintaining a relationship whilst also encountering sexual liaisons with another. Eventually the person becomes addicted to sex as if 'she is the sweetest drug'.

Ne-Yo has stated that the song is a continuation from the 2007 single Sexy Love.

Saxophonist Eric Darius covered the track on his 2008 album, Goin' All Out.
