So you lit her cigarette You're feelin' pretty good You think you've got a shot Most girls you probably would Yeah this is that kind of place But she ain't that kind of girl You're readin' it all wrong Let me tell you about her/ She only smokes when she drinks She only drinks now and then Now and then when she's tired Of bein' let down by men You can give her a light But it's not what you think Everybody knows she only drinks alone And she only smokes when she drinks Did you ask her to dance Let me guess, she told you no Got to take her some place quiet And see how far that goes Oh, don't take it all that hard When she smiles and turns you down For a complicated girl She ain't that hard to figure out She only smokes when she drinks She only drinks now and then Now and then when she's tired Of bein' let down by men You can give her a light But it's not what you think Everybody knows she only drinks alone And she only smokes when she drinks
