Nasty
Habit
I’m
biting my nails, tryin not to call you again
So much I need to do but I’m procrastinating
You were right there in my face, enticing me to come in
I couldn’t turn my back on such a generous invitation
But now I’m back where I was before I didn’t need you
When I get this urge in my veins, only one thing to do
I’ll take some of what you got but I swear just this time
Gonna start again tomorrow and without you I’ll be fine
I'll be fine
You’re a nasty habit
I thought I was done with you
But you always show up when I can’t resist you
You make me do things I’d never do
Without your voodoo
Yeah you’re a nasty habit
So this time I’m really done with you
It’s so hard to give you up when I know you’re right there
You never even say no to me, now you know that’s not fair
My friends are waiting, I need to check out the scene
But I gotta get you tonight before I do anything
It was almost two months since you knocked on my door
I wrote it in my journal, I didn’t need you anymore
You said what the hell, just for old time’s sake
And I said yes knowing it would be a mistake
A mistake
You’re a nasty habit
I thought I was done with you
But you always show up when I can’t resist you
You make me do things I’d never do
Without your voodoo
Yeah you’re a nasty habit
So this time I’m really done with you
You’re playing with my mind
I think it’s about time
I stop using you to help me get it right
You’re no good for my body
Just like mama taught me
Gotta let the snake go before it bites
Yeah you’re a nasty habit
And now that I’m done with you
If you ever show up, I’m gonna – resist you
Cuz I can do much better things
Without your voodoo
Yeah you’re a nasty habit
So this time I’m really done with you
Uh huh
Yeah you're a nasty habit
Uh huh...
