Champion Jack Dupree - Can't Kick The Habit Lyrics
Well, I can't kick this habitAnd this junk is killin' meYes, I can't kick this habitAnd this junk is killin' meEver since I started this habitEv'rything's been down on meI hung around my friendsAnd smoked reeferAnd I thought I was doin', alrightYes, I hung around my friendsAnd smoked reeferAnd I thought, I thoughtI's doin', alrightNow, I done lost a good womanAnd I have no place to sleep at nightWell, I went to the doctorSee could he cure this habit for meYes, I went to the doctorSee could he cure this habit for meHe looked at me and shook his headAnd 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 listenedto what my mother said''She told me that dope wasn't no good''I didn't pay it no mindI thought I was doin' alright''Now, I'm stayin' sick as I could be'It don't pay, nobodyJust to live their life so badIt don't pay, nobodyHoo-ooo!Just to live, to live their life so badIf you just take it slow and easyJust as long as this habit lasts.~
