all the time

One cigarette won't kill you
One little pill just couldn't hurt
It's okay in moderation
Like Mama said about dessert

So you wash it down
With a glass of wine
And you tell yourself
It'll all be fine
As long as you don't do it all the time (time)
As long as you don't do it all the time (time)

Missin' a couple meals won't kill you (won't kill you)
Another drink should be okay (be okay)
You take the pills to help you fall asleep (fall asleep)
It's not like you take them every day

So you wash it down
With a bottle of wine
And you tell yourself
It'll all be fine
As long as you don't do it all the time

You say it's okay, you'd never get addicted
As you ask your doctor for a higher dose of your prescription
You say it's okay and there's no need to worry
As you finish dinner, run into the bathroom in a hurry
As long as you don't do it all the time

Now you need more than a couple
Because the drugs no longer work
They don't feel the way they used to
You don't get high, you just get worse

So you wash it down
With a case of wine
And you tell yourself
It'll all be fine
As long as you don't do it all the time (time)
As long as you don't do it all the time (time)

As long as you don't do it all the time
