[Verse 1]
Santa Monica seems so far
From New York where we are
She waters a cactus
And then I know just what the fact is

[Chorus]
Oh you know she takes my breath away
Isn't she succulent?
Every time and every little way
Lighting up a cigarette
Oh you know she takes my breath away

[Verse 2]
She dances around our apartment
Holding a Turkish gold cigarette
Coffee during her workday
She's taking pictures just about always

[Chorus]
Oh you know she takes my breath away
Isn't she succulent?
Every time and every little way
Lighting up a cigarette
Oh you know she takes my breath away
[Chorus]
Oh you know she takes my breath away
Isn't she succulent?
Every time and every little way
Lighting up a cigarette
Oh you know she takes my breath away
