Can't Kick the Habit

Can't Kick the Habit - Champion Jack Dupree

Well I can't kick this habit

And this junk is killin' me

Yes I can't kick this habit

And this junk is killin' me

Ever since I started this habit

Everything's been down on me

I hung around my friends

And smoked **

And I thought I was doin' alright

Yes I hung around my friends

And smoked **

And I thought I thought

I's doin' alright

Now I done lost a good woman

And I have no place to sleep at night

Well I went to the doctor

See could he cure this habit for me

Yes I went to the doctor

See could he cure this habit for me

He looked at me and shook his head

And said this d**e is killin' me

(Oh play it for me )

(Oh yeah )

'Yes I know it's killin' me'

'I don't feel good anyhow'

'I wished I would-a listened

To what my mother said'

'She told me that d**e wasn't no good'

'I didn't pay it no mind

I thought I was doin' alright'

'Now I'm stayin' sick as I could be'

It don't pay nobody

Just to live their life so bad

It don't pay nobody

Hoo-ooo

Just to live to live their life so bad

If you just take it slow and easy

Just as long as this habit lasts
