Don't Smoke, Darling
Notes: words and music
by Malvina Reynolds; copyright 1976 by author.
When we came together,
We knew we were meant for each other,
Knew I'd always love you,
And I want you to be free,
I knew I'd always love you,
But there's just one thing I'm asking of you,
Don't smoke, darling,
Your lungs belong to me.
Chorus:
Don't smoke, darling,
I worry so about you,
Don't smoke, darling,
I could not live without you.
Please kick the habit
And happy we will be.
Don't smoke, darling,
Your lungs belong to me.
I love you so completely,
Inside, outside, head-to-feetly,
You are such a wonder
To consider and to see,
If you knew what just one slip meant
You'd take care of your equipment,
Don't smoke, darling,
Your lungs belong to me.
(Chorus)
