This is a song about a love/hate relationship with a woman (actually, an anthropomorphized cigarette) I'm calling "Virginia". Looking for any comments and suggestions for improvements.

"Virginia"

*
O Virginia, when I’m with ya
You take my breath away
I’d walk a mile to make you smile
But then there’s hell to pay
*
Been together—seems forever
We’ve come a long, long way
I’m addicted—I’m conflicted
And now I’ve come to say
*
Take these chains from me
Let’s clear the air so that I can breathe
And let me be what I will be
Set me free, Virginia!
*
O Virginia, what’s that in ya
That won’t leave me alone?
Your kiss tastes good, just like it should
But now your cover’s blown
*
You’re the master of my disaster
You made a slave of me
You’re a treasure—alive with pleasure
But now I’ve got to flee
*
Take these chains from me
Let’s clear the air so that I can breathe
And let me be what I will be
Set me free, Virginia!
*
O Virginia …
O Virginia …
O Virginia …
Set me free!
