Started drinking it was gin
One or two every now then
Didn't know when to say when
And it almost did me in
Kind of like you I had to give that up too

[Chorus]
I miss the taste I miss the high
And the way it made me burn inside
It knocked me down on my knees
When I loved it more than it loved me
Kind of like you I had to give that up too

Finally off the cigarettes
Three months I haven't light one yet
Knew I had to put them down
Before they put me in the ground
Kind of like you
I had to give that up too

[Chorus]
Wish I could have just one or two
But that's just something I just can't do
So I made my peace with what I am
And there's just some things I just can't have
Kind of like you I had to give that up to
