Lyrics
Bad 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.
You swear too much
You drink too many
You smoke like a burning
Haystack honey
You got bad habits
Bad habits
You chase all the women
Coloured and white
You steal from your mother
Do you think that that's right
You got bad habits
Bad habits
You walk on the grass
The sign he say don't
You say you'll do things
That you know you won't
You own a car
For which you didn't pay
But you earned my love
It's here to stay
Oh oh oh oh
Every lie a masterpiece
You're gifted
But I'm young
So I can take it
All the policemen know you
Your face
Name
Where you were last night
And at what time you came
It's those bad habits
Bad habits
