There's a kind of tantalising smell
I can't help but light you up
It sends nearby people running
It's not good for me
I know, I know
I can't kick the habit
Can't kick the habit
Flowery sentiments
I can't escape the addiction
Can't kick the habit
Foggy contours
My dreams have been turned upside down
[I] can smell it in my dreams
[I] can still see its shadows
[You] satisfy the momentary idleness between my fingers
[You've] become the support on which my beating pulse relies
When I kiss you I forget my worries
You've become my worry
I never thought, never thought
[That] I'd be unable to kick the habit
Can't kick the habit
[I] don't need to kiss you
Yet what could be more important?
Can't kick the habit
[I] was so proud of myself
[Now] I'm irritable when I'm not holding you
Can't kick the habit
If only my sense of taste could be extinguished
Yet I cannot bear to do this
[I could] put you down
And pretend to smile while picking a flower
The problem lies in
How to calm my heartbeat, calm my heartbeat
How to calm my heartbeat, calm my heartbeat
