I Had to Give That up Too

When I started drinking it was gin

Just one or two every now and then

Till I didn't know when to say when

That's when it nearly did me in

Kinda like you

I had to give that up too

But I miss the taste

I miss the high

The way it made

Me burn inside

Until it knocked me down

On my knees

When I loved it more

Than it loved me

Kinda like you

I had to give that up too

Finally off of cigarettes

Been three months I ain't lit one yet

I knew I'd have to put 'em down

Before they put me in the ground

Kinda like you

I had to give that up too

But I miss the taste

I miss the high

The way it made

Me burn inside

Until it knocked me down

On my knees

When I loved it more

Than it loved me

Kinda like you

I had to give that up too

I wish I could have

Just one or two

That's just some things

I just can't do

I've made my peace

With what I am

There's just some things

I just can't have

Kinda like you

I had to give that up too
