Lyrics[]
[Intro]
Two packs a day, baby
Two packs a day, baby
Two packs a day and I'm still, still going (Baby)
Two packs a day, baby
Two packs a day, baby
Two packs a day and I'm still, still going (Going)
[Verse 1]
I know you don't want excuses
But let me ask you what the use is, yeah
Light me up and hope to die, oh
This is fashion suicide
[Refrain]
And every time I fret (I just need another one)
And every time we sext (I just need another one)
And every time it's just too much
I'm bugging out, not having fun (I just need another one)
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause it's something so bad
That it makes me feel okay, yeah
Exhale all the trouble that you give me
Watch it blow away
[Chorus]
I just want a cigarette, cigarette, ci-ci-cigarette
I just need a cigarette, cigarette, cigarette
Can I bum a cigarette? Ci-ci-ci-cigarette, ci-ci-cigarette
I just want a cigarette, cig-cigarette, cig-cigarette
I just want a cigarette
[Verse 2]
Sometimes I just wanna quit you
Throw you out and just forget you
But then I start to crave like Hell, oh
Tried to sleep but just wish me well
[Refrain]
And every time I fret (I just need another one)
And every time we sext (I just need another one)
And every time it's just too much
I'm bugging out, not having fun (I just need another one)
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause it's something so bad
That it makes me feel okay, yeah
Exhale all the trouble that you give me
Watch it blow away
[Chorus]
I just want a cigarette, cigarette, ci-ci-cigarette
I just need a cigarette, cigarette, cigarette
Can I bum a cigarette? Ci-ci-ci-cigarette, ci-ci-cigarette
I just want a cigarette, cig-cigarette, cig-cigarette
I just want a cigarette
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause it's something so bad
That it makes me feel okay, yeah
Exhale all the trouble that you give me
Watch it blow away
[Chorus]
I just want a cigarette, cigarette, ci-ci-cigarette
I just need a cigarette, cigarette, cigarette
Can I bum a cigarette? Ci-ci-ci-cigarette, ci-ci-cigarette
I just want a cigarette, cig-cigarette, cig-cigarette
I just want a cigarette
