2nd Hand Cigarettes

Do you remember when you were just thirteen
cigarettes made it on the scene
and somehow you knew they just weren't as bad as they seemed.
Well, now you're all of thirty three
I like to think you belong with me
so it makes it very hard when I have to admit
I'm in line behind a habit.
I saw you late last night
when the lights were low and the stores were closed.
I caught you in a frightful pose
out of smokes and nowhere to go.
Looking through the ashtray halfway
through the late night show.

Don't you know
They've all been smoked before.

Second Hand Cigarettes
just try and forget
they've been smoked before
It doesn't mean less nicotine
They've just been smoked before.

There's always time and you say you can quit
but right now you'd sell your soul for a hit.
Well, try and find one without lipstick
they've been smoked before.

Second Hand Cigarettes
just try and forget
they've been smoked before
It doesn't mean less nicotine
They've just been smoked before.

There's always time and you say you can quit
but right now you'd sell your soul for a hit.
Well, try and find one without lipstick
they've been smoked before.
