[Intro]
Hi, everyone, um... my name is Carla
Everyone, let's welcome Carla
(Hi, Carla)
I'm here because uhm
Well, I didn't know what else to do and
This is it
I'm strung out

[Verse 1]
Hello everybody, my name is Kelis
(Hi, Kelis)
The reason that I'm here is my problem got severe

[Pre-Chorus]
My body would get sweaty whenever he came near
I haven't even been hooked an entire year
I've got the fever

[Chorus]
I'm a junkie
A junkie for your love
I'm a junkie
A junkie for your love
I'm a junkie
A junkie for your love
I'm a junkie
A junkie for your love

[Verse 2]
And I can't do my job right because this interferes
And I just want my life back, I wanna see shit clear

[Pre-Chorus]
I was strung out
For real since the first time we hung out
I never met a guy that was even half as fly
I've got the fever

[Chorus]
I'm a junkie
A junkie for your love
I'm a junkie
A junkie for your love
I'm a junkie
A junkie for your love
I'm a junkie
A junkie for your love

[Verse 3]
All my relatives and neighbors would not get out my ear
I would tell them he was cool, he just didn't need no beer

[Pre-Chorus]
I, was high
And stupid, yeah, I was in denial
Every time he smiled at me my mouth would just go dry
I've got the fever

[Chorus]
I'm a junkie
A junkie for your love
I'm a junkie
A junkie for your love
I'm a junkie
A junkie for your love
I'm a junkie
A junkie for your love

Kelis

When idiosyncratic R&B singer Kelis hit the scene in 1999 with the siren-bathed “Caught Out There,” many didn’t know what to do with a rainbow-haired songstress repeatedly screaming “I hate you so much right now” as her hook. It made her not only unforgettable, but also helped put hitmaking production duo The Neptunes on the map.

Though her debut album Kaleidoscope was well-received, her label Virgin Records opted to only release the sophomore Wanderland internationally though the single “Young, Fresh N' New” was in rotation on BET & MTV.

Despite record label drama, Kelis kept her public profile up singing the hooks on hit songs like ODB’s “Got Your Money” and Busta Rhymes' “What It Is”.
