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 

Ev'rything's been down on me 

I hung around my friends 

And smoked reefer 

And I thought I was doin', alright 

Yes, I hung around my friends 

And smoked reefer 

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 dope is killin' me 

(Oh, play it for me!) 

(Oh, yeah!) 

(guitar, piano & instrumental) 

'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 dope 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.
