About the song[]
Originally intended to be a duet with Chaka Khan, the song was made without her because her record company at the time would not grant her a release to work on Palmer's label, Island Records. Chaka Khan, however, is still credited for the vocal arrangements in the album liner notes.
Andy Taylor (bandmate of Palmer's from The Power Station) provides lead guitar. The other guitar part on the song is played by Eddie Martinez and keyboards by Wally Badarou.
Bernard Edwards produced the track, who also produced The Power Station album that Palmer and Andy Taylor were both members of in 1985.
The song topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart, as well as spending two weeks at the top of the Billboard Top Rock Tracks chart, and it peaked at #5 on the UK Singles Chart.

Lyrics[]
Your lights are on, but you're not home Your mind is not your own Your heart sweats, your body shakes Another kiss is what it takes You can't sleep, you can't eat There's no doubt, you're in deep Your throat is tight, you can't breathe Another kiss is all you need Ohh oohh you like to think that you're immune to the stuff It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough you know you're gonna have to face it you're addicted to love You see the signs, but you can't read You're runnin' at a different speed You heart beats in double time Another kiss and you'll be mine, a one track mind You can't be saved Oblivion is all you crave If there's some left for you You don't mind if you do Ohh oohh You like to think that you're immune to the stuff It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough, you know you're gonna have to face it you're addicted to love Might as well face it, you're addicted to love(5x) Your lights are on, but you're not home Your will is not your own You're heart sweats and teeth grind Another kiss and you'll be mine Ohh oohh you like to think that you're immune to the stuff It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough you know you're gonna have to face it you're addicted to love Might as well face it, you're addicted to love(5x)
