Lyrics
Give It Up (Old Habits)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There's no decision
You look my way
I know that expression and what it says
It'd be so easy
The light is right
Forget in the moment who we are tonight
My body's singing and the music's strong
No coscience speaking ain't nothing wrong
Give it up
That's the way it starts
You've got to know old habits die hard
Give it up
Remember what I said
That kind of lovin' used to happen every day
Temptation makes a fool out of us all
I made my up
It had to end
But I've got this indecision when you're close again
I want you so bad baby
I can't deny
And those old fantasies are stealing across my mind
I thought by now that the flame had gone
I realize that it's still holding on
<chorus>
