You call me up
When you get lonely
Make me feel
Like I’m the only one you love
And when I just can't get enough
Hey hey like

Cheap wine and cigarettes
That kind of taste that you don’t forget
You take me high and leave me a mess
Just like cheap wine and cigarettes
Hey yeah
Hey yeah

You’re like a curse
You know I want you
Crave you, wake up feeling worse
Yeah but then the night comes around
Baby I just can't put you down
I can’t put you down like

Cheap wine and cigarettes
That kind of taste that you don’t forget
You take me high and leave me a mess
Just like cheap wine and cigarettes

You're no good for me baby
But I still give into you anyway
Hey hey like

Cheap wine and cigarettes
That kind of taste that you don’t forget
You take me high and leave me a mess
Just like cheap wine and cigarettes (Hey hey)

Cheap wine and cigarettes
That kind of taste that you don’t forget
You take me high and leave me a mess
Just like cheap wine and cigarettes
Hey yeah
Hey yeah
