"Nicotine" lyrics

My baby's always high
My baby's always offering me hits
I think I wanna try him
I think he might be something I can fix
My baby texts and drives
To tell me that he missed me all day
He shows up on time
He's killing himself the slow way

Nicotine, therapy
Arguing, quitting
Self-esteem plummeting
When he's mean, he's just kidding
Cigarettes, side effects
The more sex, submitting
Check to check, kissing my neck
I'm thinkin' about leaving

My baby's always pissed
But every few weeks, he's perfect
One day I feel dismissed
And then I'm convinced we're a good fit
My baby insists
We'll make it work and have kids someday
Well, I just wish
He wasn't killing us the slow way

With nicotine (nicotine), therapy (therapy)
We're always arguing, now he's quitting
My self-esteem (self-esteem), is plummeting (plummeting)
When he's mean, he's just kidding
Cigarettes (cigarettes), side effects (side effects)
The more sex, submitting
He's check to check (check to check), kissin' my neck (kissin' my neck)
While I'm thinkin' about leaving

My baby never leaves my side
My baby's always on my mind
My baby's stuck right on my lips
Just one more month, I swear I'll quit
My baby's so bad for my health
But I swear I can't help myself
If I don't go cold turkey today
I'm killing myself the slow way

With nicotine (nicotine), therapy (therapy)
We're always arguing, quitting
My self-esteem (self-esteem), is plummeting (plummeting)
When he's mean, he's not kidding
Cigarettes (cigarettes), side effects (side effects)
The more sex, submitting
He's check to check (check to check), kissin' my neck (kissin' my neck)
I've decided that I'm leaving
