Baby, got our head down
Baby, got our head down to the ground
Looking for a stranger
Looking for a stranger to love
You got to touch your eyes and crush your teeth
You gotta let go, come with me
Looking for a stranger
Looking for a stranger to love
You say you want it, but
You can't get it in
You got yourself a bad habit, girl
Oh look at you, walking up and down a pole
As saying please save me
You say you want it, but
You can't get it in
You got yourself a bad habit, girl
Oh look at you, walking up and down a pole
As saying please
Oh man, oh man, oh man
You know I wish I had it all
Baby, got our head down
Baby trying to stand down in the crowd
Looking for a stranger
Looking for
You got to dot your I's and cross your t's
You gotta let go, come with me
Looking for a stranger
Looking for a stranger to love
You say you want it, but
You can't get it in
You got yourself a bad habit, girl
Oh look at you, walking up and down a pole
As saying: Please save me
You say you want it, but
You can't get it in
You got yourself a bad habit, girl
Oh look at you, walking up and down a pole
As saying please
Oh man, oh man, oh man
You know I wish I had it all
You know I wish I had it all
You say you want it, but
You can't get it in
You got yourself a bad habit, girl
Oh look at you, walking up and down a pole
As saying please
Oh man, oh man, oh man
You can't get it, it's a
A bad habit, such a
A bad habit such a bad bad habit
It's a, a bad habit
