I was smoking when I met her
I was smoking hen she left
Maybe it's got something to do with cigarettes
I guess she loved my dog
Cause when it died she left
And now I have to find myself another pet

Every time I find my mind
I start crying and loose it again

She had a run in her stockings
When she ran out of town
Ran home to mamma, Crying
I'm gonna run away and live by the sea
But you can't change love with geography

Your a fine mess
I've got myself into
Maybe that's why
I'm so out of it

Well I guess I'll have to look at it all as some kind of test
But anyway, I never ever said I was the best
Another man, another man maybe could do better
Now I'm having me some fun trying to forget her

Every time I loose my mind
I quit smoking to find it again
Your a fine mess
I've got myself into
Maybe that's why
I'm so out of it

Every time I loose my mind
I start smoking to find it again
Your a fine mess
I've got myself into
Maybe that's why
I'm so out of it
