One bad habit

I try my best to live a good life
walk down that straight and narrow street
my momma told me girl to live right
beware of strangers that you meet
but she never, ever laid her eyes on you
if she did she'd know it's true
I resist temptation when he's knockin' at my door
got no time for trouble keep away
I've got one big problem and I don't know what to do
I've got one bad habit, you!
I saw you coming from a distance
like a falling dollar bill
your the thinking woman's nightmare
I think I won't you think I will
But my mind leaves when you smile
my body wants to stay
what can I do what can I say?
I resist temptation when he's knockin at my door
got no time for trouble keep away
I've got one big problem and I don't know what to do
I've got one bad habit, you!
And I go "Oh No!" everytime your near
my resistance disappears
you play me, slay me
turn me upside down
God knows why I stick around
I resist temptation when he's knockin at my door
got no time for trouble keep away
I've got one big problem and I don't know what to do
I've got one bad habit, you!
I gave up lying and staying out too late
I gave up on the Mets in '88
I've got one big problem and I don't know what to do
I've got one bad habit, you!
I gave up drinking and smoking cigarettes
and I gave up placin' loosin' bets (Oh Yeah!)
I've got one big problem and I don't know what to do
I've got one bad habit, you!
