Man Without a smoke Songtext
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

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

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



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
