But I Got Over You
It was so cool
to have you in my pocket by the pool.
But I got over you
Now I have a new friend, I hope he won't stay.
It's all this weight gain since you went away.
..But I got over you.
When you here, I'd take one puff,
well, a pack of you a day just wasn't enough.
..But I got over you.
Once I thought one or two of you could stay.
Soon the whole pack of you was puffed that day.
..But I got over you.
In the mornings you grabbed me by the throat
And now in the mornings this oxygen tank I tote
..But I got over you.
You stained my teeth a yellowed site.
With my browned fingers I'm an awful fright.
..But I got over you.
You where a friend to many when you were just a penny.
..But I got over you.
To some you will always be their friend
until the painful bitter end
..But I got over you.
