Love Is Like a Cigarette - Duke Ellington Orchestra, Ivie Anderson

Love is like a cigarette

You know you held my heart aglow

Between your finger tips

And just like a cigarette

I never knew the thrill of life until I touched your lips

Then just like a cigarette

Love seemed to fade away and leave behind ashes of regret

Then with a flip of your fingertip

It was easy for you to forget

Oh!

Love is like a cigarette
