Been trying to quit smoking,
bout 3 months now,
but the most I can do,
is hardly cut down,
I tried to, cut my losses,
cut off all contact with you,
but when you shoot me a text,
I'll tell ya what I wanna do,

Gunna light up a cigarette,
take a few puffs,
wanna take a few swings,
No, you don't look so tough,
wanna give you just what you deserve,
and take another drag,
maybe I'll just quit tomorrow,
When I'm not feelin' so bad,

I tried to, quit smoking again today,
but then you called me and asked me to come out and play,
and it's, so hard to say no to you,
so I'll light another square, and think what to do,
I said, anything that keeps me from goin' to you,

Light up a cigarette,
and blow the stress away,
It's a sad, sad cure,
when I don't know what to say,
Claim it's my last, no smokin' no more,
then I see you again, and I have a few more.

I have a thousand wishes,
and baby you're at the top of the list,
but I know I shouldn't, I know it's wrong,
So instead, I'll just,
smoke one.

Gunna light up a cigarette
and I'm ready for bad news,
Cos I know that's all I'll ever hear from you,
I know I swore I'd stop,
and break this bad habit for good,
but then I see your face,
and buy another pack like I should.
