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 'em 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
