A Man Without a Smoke
guitar chords lyrics
I once met a girl, man she was wow
I thought I go up to her, and tell it to her now
But... she came to me, she said "do you have a light?"
I said "well gril, i don't smoke, but for you I'll burn all night"
"you are mistaking, I am talking about fire"
"well girl, so am I, but mine is called desire"
She looked at me, I tried looking cool
and then she came a little closer and she whispered in my ear
"oh boy, you really are a fool"
She said: a man without a smoke is like the sky without the stars
you may well be broke, you may drive big cars
you may own five stars hotels on Jupiter and Mars
But a man without a smoke is like the sky without the stars
There she left me devastated, questioning my style
wow, what a girl, I couldn't speak for quite a while
But a man without a smoke is like the sky without the stars
There she left me devastated, questioning my style
wow, what a girl, I couldn't speak for quite a while
I went outside and drove my car to airport Louisiana
I checked right in and said: "I need a ticket to HAVANA"
I need to get me a cigar, I need to get me my first star
I need to get me a cigarette, I can't get the girl out of my head
I need to get me a new style, I need a Humphrey Bogart smile
I don't mind flying all around the world, I need to get me that girl
because a man without a smoke is like the sky without the stars
But a man without a smoke is like the sky without the stars
So I danced the nights away in Havana
And I smoked a really big banana
And some little cigarillos, and cigars of fifteen miles
I went to get me my style
but after a few weeks I had to leave Havana
I had to find this girl back home and I flew to Louisiana
I found my car, I filled it up and I drove all through the night
I met her at a party and I said "hey girl, do you have a light?"
"I am sorry, I don't smoke {excuse me}, boy you really are a bore
Smoking is out {is what}, it ain't stylish anymore {hey girl I went all around the world}
so what you went around the world and gave up all your wealth
don't you know what they found out? It just ain's good for your health" {but you told me that.}
a man without a smoke is like the sky without the stars
you may well be broke, you may drive big cars
you may own five stars hotels on Jupiter and Mars
But a man without a smoke is like the sky without the stars
The things we do for women, the things we do to please
The things they do to tease us that bring us to our knees
The thing is we don't get them, and that's what keeps us thinking
ans so I'm through with smoking
that's why I started drinking
