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.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Catch you later, baby
I've got to split
I've got a habit I just can't quit
Catch you later, baby
I gotta split
I've got a habit I just can't quit
Oh, oh, (oh, oh)
It's biting my nails
Oh, oh, (oh, oh)
It's biting my nails
Oh, oh (oh, oh)
It's biting my nails
Oh, oh (oh, oh)
A flake of snow on a silver spoon
A pretty woman and a big full moon
A handsome man with a diamond ring
How he wishes he had that thing
Oh, oh, (oh, oh)
It's biting my nails
Oh, oh, (oh, oh)
It's biting my nails
Oh, oh, (oh, oh)
It's biting my nails
Oh, oh, (oh, oh)
He's got the fingers in her parted lips
He's got the hand up on her africa hips
(Give me money for the dentist honey!)
I've got a habit, and it's all mine
Oh, oh, (oh, oh)
It's biting my nails
Oh, oh, (oh, oh)
It's biting my nails
Oh, oh, (oh, oh)
It's biting my nails
Oh, oh (oh, oh)
Breakdown
Ya ya, la la la la (doobie dubba dud da da)
Ya, ya, la la la la (doobie dubba dud da da)
Ya, ya, la la la la (doobie dubba dud da da)
Ya ya, la la la la (doobie dubba dud da da)
Now, if you're gonna see me biting my nails,
You just ell my mama,
Yeah, she gonna spank me
'Cause I don't want a bad habit
I don't like it
I don't want one
I'm gonna, I'm gonna...p-p-put it donw
I'm gonna, I'm gonna...g-g-give it up, you;ll see
Oh, oh, (oh, oh)
It's biting my nails
Oh, oh (oh, oh)
It's biting my nails
Oh, oh (oh, oh)
It's biting my nails
Oh, oh (oh, oh).
