12-Step Program (To Quit You Babe)

(album: The Impossible Bird - 1994)

I'm on a twelve-step program
To quit you babe
I'm on a twelve-step program
To quit you baby
I'm tired of whining and pacing the floor
I ain't gonna do it no more
On a twelve-step program to quit you babe

Step one: I'm gonna tear your picture down
Step two: I'm gonna move the room around
Step three: I'm gonna walk out the door
Gonna leave you for number four
On a twelve-step program to quit you babe

Step five: I will acquire a whole new jive
Step six: and brand new bag of tricks
Step seven: if it's not too late
Help me get to number eight
On a twelve-step program to quit you babe

Well a little taste was all that it took
To get me well and truly hooked
Take a look at my arm you won't find a track
But I'm suffering baby
While I got you on my back

Step nine: I'm gonna pick out a place to dine
Step ten will begin after we get in
It's gonna be like a miracle from heaven
If I ever get past eleven
On a twelve-step program to quit you babe

I can't quit you baby
I can't let go
Can't quit you darling
I can't stop
Loving you baby
I can't stop
