[Verse 1]
What the hell was I thinking?
Hell was I drinking?
I know I can't believe you
But I can't put you down
Long enough to put you out
And the last time's always the last time
But here I am back in line
Down to my last dime
[Chorus]
Like buying cigarettes up in New York City
I'm paying twice as much for the love that you give me
There's half a pack, half a heart I can't quit
You're like buying cigarettes up in New York City, babe
[Verse 2]
Well I can go for hours and not think about you
But when I get around you, I just want one more
Hell what's one more?
It's always way more than it's worth
[Chorus]
Like buying cigarettes up in New York City
I'm paying twice as much for the love that you give me
There's half a pack, half a heart I can't quit
You're like buying cigarettes up in New York City, babe
[Bridge]
I can't let you go
I can't tell you no
I can't let you go
Even though, you're just blowing smoke
[Chorus]
Like buying cigarettes up in New York City
I'm paying twice as much for the love that you give me
There's half a pack, half a heart I can't quit
You're like buying cigarettes up in New York City
Up in New York City
And you're gonna kill me
