The Cigarette Duet
Princess Chelsea Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's just a cigarette and it cannot be that bad
Honey, don't you love me and you know it makes me sad?
It's just a cigarette, like you always used to do
I was different then, I don't need them to be cool

It's just a cigarette and it harms your pretty lungs
Well, it's only twice a week, so there's not much of a chance
It's just a cigarette, it'll soon be only ten
Honey, can't you trust me when I want to stop I can

It's just a cigarette and it's just a Marlboro Light
Maybe, but is it worth it if we fight?
It's just a cigarette that I got from Jamie-Lee
She's gonna get a smack and I'm gonna give you three

It's just a cigarette and I only did it once
It's only twice a week so there's not much of a chance
It's just a cigarette and I'm sorry that I did it
Honey, can't you trust me when I want to stop I can

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la




La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

The lyrics are both playful and sad, highlighting the conflicting emotions that the couple feels.


The line, "It's just a cigarette and it cannot be that bad," represents the smoker's attitude towards their habit. They view smoking as a harmless vice, while their partner recognizes the potential harm it can cause. The repeated phrase, "Honey, can't you trust me when I want to stop I can," shows the effort the smoker is putting into quitting, but also the lack of faith their partner has in their ability to change. Overall, the song is a commentary on the complexities of addiction and the challenges it presents in relationships.

Lyric:

It's just a cigarette and it cannot be that bad
Honey, don't you love me and you know it makes me sad?
It's just a cigarette like you always used to do
I was different then, I don't need them to be cool

It's just a cigarette and it harms your pretty lungs
Well, it's only twice a week so there's not much of a chance
It's just a cigarette, it'll soon be only ten
Honey, can't you trust me? When I want to stop, I can

It's just a cigarette and it's just a Marlboro Light
Maybe, but is it worth it if we fight?
It's just a cigarette that I got from Jamie-Lee
Oh, she's gonna get a smack and I'm gonna give you three

It's just a cigarette and I only did it once (it's just a cigarette, it'll soon be only ten)
It's only twice a week so there's not much of a chance (it'll make you sick girl there's not much of a chance)
It's just a cigarette and I'm sorry that I did it (it's just a cigarette, you'll be sorry that you did it)
Honey, can't you trust me? When I want to stop, I can

La la, la-la-la-la-la-la
La la, la-la-la-la-la-la
La la, la-la-la-la-la-la
La la, la-la-la-la-la-la
La la, la-la-la-la-la-la
La la, la-la-la-la-la-la
La la, la-la-la-la-la-la
La la, la-la-la-la-la-la

She said in an interview this took about 50 takes to get right, the pink wig was decided after about 20-30 takes cause she didn’t like her hair lol. She also said: “The deadpan, bored expressions by the end are so honest!”

@chimmybacon1964

damn thats some dedication

@Drebor94

Another clue besides their bored expressions that they did it more than 50x is also their utterly careful grasp of the glasses filled with beer and wine.

I’m pretty sure that the scene with the floating guitar bar went wrong more than once! 😂

@kittycatrittycatalt9523

Wow that’s a lot
She really wanted that look
