What's a verb used for someone or something you can't get enough of?

Question

The adjective may be "irresistible", but I specifically mean, and am requesting, a verb:
Like, for a partner whom you can't get enough. In my language, for example, we literally say, "you're so amazing, I could never 'thirst' from kissing you". It doesn't have to be a romantic setting. It could be a song you enjoy a lot - Again, in my language, "I enjoy this song so much, I could never 'thirst' from listening to it".
So, in English, what's an (appropriate) verb used as instead of "thirst" (which probably sounds outlandish in English)?

The verb tire meaning to become weary, when used as a phrasal verb tire of, works nicely for what you want to say.

You're so amazing, I could never tire of kissing you.

and

I enjoy this song much, I could never tire of listening to it.

I cannot refrain from looking at this site for interesting questions.

Refrain = to avoid doing or stop yourself from doing something

I might use this as another way of saying the rather obvious “I cannot resist looking ...”.
Also consider “*I cannot desist from ... *” or “I cannot stop ...”.

Desist = to stop doing something
