Blowing Smoke
Zoelly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh it's such a shame
That I can't stop loving you baby
And ain't nothing gunna' change
It ain't ever gunna change
And I try, and I try, and I try while you choke
On that smoke you've been blowing
It just don't get you woke'
That you're gunna' turn over a new leaf
But that goes up in...
I can't stop loving you
Oh it's such a shame
That I can't stop loving you baby
And ain't nothing gunna' change
It ain't ever gunna' change
And I cried, and I cried, while I try to explain
How your pastime is killing us, but I try in vain
And I die, and I die every time you complain
That the torch I've been holding isn't your kind of...
I can't stop loving you
Oh it's such a shame
That I can't stop loving you baby
And ain't nothing gunna' change
It ain't ever gunna' change
I've told you over and over
You gotta' try and stay sober
But as the time flies, watching paint dry ain't slower
And when you're high I get lower
I can't survive when I'm below her
Mary Jane is causing me the pain but I refrain by saying...
