Somebody tell me 
What has this man got 
He makes me feel 
What I don't wanna feel 

Somebody tell me 
What has this man got 
He makes me give 
What I don't wanna give 

On solid ground 
I feel myself sinkin' fast 
I grab a hold 
But I don't think it's gonna last 

I'm slowly losin' my ground 
Slowly sinkin' down 
Trapped by this thing they call love 
Oh baby 

(Hooked on this thing called love) 
(Hooked on this thing called love) 

Somebody tell me 
What has this man got 
He makes me cry 
Lord, I don't wanna cry 

Somebody tell me 
What has this man got 
He makes me lie 
When I don't wanna lie 

He calls me up 
And I tell 'em to say that I'm not in 
Then I cry all night 
If he doesn't call again 

I'm slowly losin' my ground 
Slowly sinkin' down 
Trapped by this thing they call love 
Oh baby 

- Interlude - 

I'm slowly losin' my ground 
Slowly sinkin' down 
Trapped by this thing they call love 
Oh baby 

I'm trapped 
(Hooked on this thing called love) 
I can't help myself 

I'm hooked on you baby 
(Hooked on this thing called love) 
I just can't help it 

I can never be happy 
(Hooked on this thing called love) 
When there's no one else 

Oh baby, I love you...
