Quitting Smoking Is Much Easier Than Quitting Talking
Ken Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you´re wrong
Meet me out in the streets
You better find something to stop me
When you´re down
I´ll get you up on your feet
But I´m not trying to protect you
I´ll affect you
I´ll defect you
I´ll infect you

I don´t mind
If you hang out on black clouds
Out of mind
To get me out
I don´t mind if you count me out
I´ll protect you
I´ll affect you
I´ll infect you
I´ll connect you
I´ll distract you




I´ll annoy you
I will relate to a different view.
