lyrics

BAD HABIT LYRICS:

Oh Oh Oh Yeah yeah – Yeah Whew!
Shadows in the night
Memories of the sunset
We let go taking flight
Candlelight and a silhouette
How did you break down these walls?
How did you get to my heart?
But once again, I let you in
‌
Oh No! You’re here yet another time
There’s no need to pretend
You know you’ll be gone tomorrow
And I will be alone again
We keep doing it over and over
Don’t think it will ever end
It’s Bad Habit I know
Baby but I love you so
Baby but I love you so
Hey yeah
He stands before me
So sweet and tempting
He’s like a story without an ending
Said you walking in and out of my life
See you throwing all my feelings aside
Don’t say your happy this isn’t love
I guess my love wasn’t good enough
‌
Kayo Verse:
Bad habits
Me cyah stop it
You got me locked in like a French locket
Parisian wines in the Greek tropics
You say I’m toxic, that’s a deep topic
I pray that we stop it
And hope that we flourish
Out of the concrete
We rose out of this pain
We know that it’s love
The world thinks we’re insane
I pray we have better days
But probably need therapy
The worst days are what brings out the best in me
I got some Bad Habits
‌
Oh No! You’re here yet another time
There’s no need to pretend
You know you’ll be gone tomorrow
And I will be alone again
We keep doing it over and over
Don’t think it will ever end
It’s Bad Habit I know
Baby but I love you so - Oh Oh Oh Oh
Baby but I love you so
Oh yeah yeah
‌
Bad habits I know, Bad habits I know
Bad habits I know, (I know) Bad habits I know
Whoa whoa whoa, Baby You’re mine
Bad habits I know, bad habits I know
Baby, you’re mine Bad habits I know
Bad habits I know
Bad habits I know, but I love, love love you so
‌
Oh No! You’re here yet another time – another time
There’s no need to pretend
You know you’ll be gone tomorrow
And I will be alone again
We keep doing it over and over
Don’t think it will ever end
It’s Bad Habit I know
Baby but I love you so
