Love Is My Disease
Alicia Keys · The Element of Freedom [2009]
When your gone it feels like,
my whole worlds gone with you
I thought love would be my cure
but now its my disease
i try to act mature
but I'm a baby when you leave
how can i ever get used to being without you
(yeah)
baby, baby, baby, baby
in my addictive
when i need you here all the time
and I'm not sure if this is healthy
is it a sickness
cos i feel like I'm losing my mind
and i know that theres no medicine
nothing i can take, no remedy
baby please stay
(ohohoohh)
When your gone it feels like,
my whole worlds gone with you
I thought love would be my cure
but now its my disease (my disease)
i try to act mature
but I'm a baby when you leave
how can i ever get used to being without you
oh oh oh baby baby baby baby
i get a fever
just the thought of you leaving my side
ohohhhh
its not the same till your back holding me
thats all i need
(oh yeah)
When your gone it feels like (when your gone baby)
my whole worlds gone with you (gone with you)
I thought love would be my cure
but now its my disease (my disease)
i try to act mature
but I'm a baby when you leave
how can i ever get used to being without you
woahhwoah
heres what I'm going through when your gone
some serious symptoms of withdrawal
(ohohoh)
so sick of turning in my bed
waking up drenched in a cold sweat
(ohohoh)
lying here lonely for you
what am i suppose to do
when im stuck and i cant get enough of your lovvvee
Ohohohwoahhh baby
When your gone it feels like (when your gone baby)
my whole worlds gone with you (gone with you)
I thought love would be my cure
but now its my disease (my disease)
i try to act mature
but I'm a baby when you leave
how can i ever get used to being without you
my whole worlds gone with you
I thought love would be my cure
but now its my disease

Love Is My Disease
Alicia Keys delivers a soulful exploration of obsession and devotion in 'Love Is My Disease,' a track from her 2009 album The Element of Freedom. Recorded during a period marked by her marriage to Jay-Z, the song blends R&B and gospel influences with Keys' signature vocal power. The recording features lush instrumentation and a driving rhythm that underscores the theme of love as an uncontrollable force. As part of her broader discography, the track exemplifies her ability to weave personal narrative with universal themes of passion, maintaining a polished yet deeply emotional tone characteristic of her work in the late 2000s.
