Champion Jack Dupree - Can't Kick The Habit lyrics

Well, I can't kick this habit And this junk is k**in' me Yes, I can't kick this habit And this junk is k**in' me Ever since I started this habit Ev'rything's been down on me I hung around my friends And smoked reefer And I thought I was doin', alright Yes, I hung around my friends And smoked reefer And I thought, I thought I's doin', alright Now, I done lost a good woman And I have no place to sleep at night Well, I went to the doctor See could he cure this habit for me Yes, I went to the doctor See could he cure this habit for me He looked at me and shook his head And said this dope is k**in' me (Oh, play it for me!) (Oh, yeah!) (guitar, piano & instrumental) 'Yes, I know it's k**in' me' 'I don't feel good, anyhow' 'I wished I would-a listened to what my mother said' 'She told me that dope wasn't no good' 'I didn't pay it no mind I thought I was doin' alright' 'Now, I'm stayin' sick as I could be' It don't pay, nobody Just to live their life so bad It don't pay, nobody Hoo-ooo! Just to live, to live their life so bad If you just take it slow and easy Just as long as this habit lasts. ~
