There's only two cigarettes that matter
The first one and the last one you smoke
The kind of smoke that gets in your eyes
The kind of smoke that makes you choke

There's only two kinds of lovers
The kind you love and the ones you love even more
But the rest are just something you'll do
And they're the ones that always walk out the door

They want very little from you
They're happy to be with in your company
There's just two kinds of lovers
Lovers like you and me
Lovers like we used to be

I once talked to Jesus
He was sitting on the concrete on the street
He was playing both ends against the middle
And this is what he said to me

"Putting one man's opinion
Against another man's is just a joke
And look at the mess you all have made around here
Someday I'm afraid you'll give up hope"

They want very little from you
They're happy with your company
Just two kinds of lovers
Lovers like you and me
Lovers like we used to be, yeah

I wish I had a little more time
Ah, I'd just waste it anyway
A dollar, a dime what makes the difference
When it comes to the end of the day?

Most things are unforgivable
Cruelty by the human hand
And the lies that we tell just to cover ourselves
And not to say I love you when you can

Because they want very little from you
They're happy with your company
Just two kinds of lovers
Lovers like you and me
Lovers like we used to be
