Cigarette

I've got a couple weaknesses
And one of them is you
And I don't mean to indulge in them
But some how I always do

All the logic in my little head
Says I should cut you free
But I always seem to want the things
I know are bad for me

Like a cigarette
Like a cigarette
Like some guilty little pleasure
That I know I shouldn't get
And I'd like to say
You should go away
But I can't help but notice that I haven't yet

How can smoking be so bad for me
When, man, it feels so good
To be lighting up a lucky
When I'm strolling through the 'hood

And I guess that's how I think of you
That though you're acting jerky
I have got myself addicted
And I just can't go cold turkey

Like a cigarette
Like a cigarette
Surgeon General, he should have warned me
You would make me fret
Though you give me shit
You're so hard to quit
Wagered I could stop whenever but I lost the bet

I wish that there was some patch I could put there on my skin
Or some gum to make me stop thinking about what might have been
I always reach for one of you when I am torn apart
Joe Camel may screw up my lungs but he won't break my heart

Like a cigarette
Like a cigarette
Maybe I should get a hobby
Or an asthmatic pet
When I'm drinking beer
I want both of you near
Wish I'd never started smoking and we'd never met
