I love you like a cigarette,
I put you out at night,
when I wake up in the morning,
I set your world alight.
I sometimes forget you
through my working days.
But when I see a cigarette,
I remember to speak your praise.
You know how much I love you,
I want it to remain a secret.
Cigarettes are a health risk
I think I’ll manage to keep it.
When I reach the end,
And the filter’s left behind,
You’ll always be with me,
The cigarette of my mind.
