Lyrics

Love Is Like a Cigarette

What is love

You called it heaven above

Star that shine in the night

A bird that sings in its flight

A flower that blooms in the spring

There's no such thing

Love's like a cigarette

You know you had my heart aglow

Between your fingertips

And just like a cigarette

I never knew the thrill of life

Until you touched my lips

Then just like a cigarette

Love seem to fade away and leave behind ashes of regret

And with a flick of your fingertips

It was easy for you to forget

Coz love is like a cigarette

Then just like a cigarette

Love seem to fade away and leave behind ashes of regret

And with a flick of your fingertips

It was easy for you to forget

Coz love is like a cigarette
