Bad Habit

Lyrics

[INTRO — Whispered | Dark Ambient Pads | Soft Falsetto] (Mmm, yeah) (Ooh-ooh, ooh) You know what you do… Yeah… I should know better. But here I am. (Oh, no…) [VERSE 1 — Low Register | Smooth Syncopated Flow] Midnight, headlights, Pull up, outside. Your dress, my eyes, We don’t need no lies. One sip, two shots, Heart race, can’t stop. You say, “Come in,” I say, “Why not?” Your perfume in the hallway, Got me thinkin’ sideways. Said I’d never come back, Now I’m parked in your driveway. We got history, We got problems. But when you look like that, I forget about ’em. (Oh, yeah) I forget about ’em… [PRE-CHORUS — Four-Line Rhythmic Build | Rising Tension] I been tryna keep my distance, but you pull me in… Every time I say it’s over, we begin again… Lips close, lights low, hands move, time slow… One touch, two hearts, no brakes, here we go— (Beat cuts — breath — bass drops) [CHORUS — Heavy 808 | Staccato | Repetitive Hook] Bad habit, bad habit, Gotta have it, gotta have it. You got magic, got magic, Automatic, automatic. Too close, too close, Don’t go, don’t go. Move slow, move slow, You know, you know. Bad habit, bad habit, Gotta have it, gotta have it. (Ooh, yeah, yeah) Can’t quit you, can’t quit you. [POST-CHORUS — Falsetto Echo | Minimal Drums] Ah-ah, ah-ah… You keep pullin’ me back. Ah-ah, ah-ah… And I like it like that. (Like that, like that) (Mmm, yeah) [VERSE 2 — Melodic Rap-Singing | More Confident] Three days, no text, Still feel your effect. Your name on my screen, Got me losing respect. For the rules I made, For the games we play. I could walk away, But I wanna stay. Smoke rings, blue lights, Your silhouette, moonlight. We ain’t gotta say much, Your eyes tell me too much. You want love, But you scared of the feeling. I act tough, But you know I’m concealing. All the things I never said, All the nights inside my head. Girl, I know this ain’t healthy, But I want you instead. (Ooh, instead…) (Yeah, yeah) [PRE-CHORUS 2 — Faster Delivery | Layered Harmonies] I been tryna keep my distance, but you pull me in… Every time I say it’s over, we begin again… Lips close, lights low, hands move, time slow… One touch, two hearts, no brakes, here we go— (Beat drops — sliding 808) [CHORUS — Full Vocal Stacks | Bass-Heavy] Bad habit, bad habit, Gotta have it, gotta have it. You got magic, got magic, Automatic, automatic. Too close, too close, Don’t go, don’t go. Move slow, move slow, You know, you know. Bad habit, bad habit, Gotta have it, gotta have it. (Ooh, yeah, yeah) Can’t quit you, can’t quit you. [BRIDGE — Stripped Instrumental | Emotional Falsetto] Maybe we ain’t good together, Maybe that’s the reason why… Every time I try to leave you, Something keeps me hypnotized. I could blame it on the liquor, I could blame it on the night. But even when I’m sober, You’re the one that’s on my mind. (Ooh-ooh) You’re the one that’s on my mind… [FINAL CHORUS — Bigger Harmonies | Addictive Repetition] Bad habit, bad habit, Gotta have it, gotta have it. You got magic, got magic, Automatic, automatic. Too close, too close, Don’t go, don’t go. Move slow, move slow, You know, you know. Bad habit, bad habit, Gotta have it, gotta have it. (Ooh, yeah, yeah) Can’t quit you, can’t quit you. [OUTRO — Whispered | Fading 808 | Reverb] (Mmm, yeah) I said I was done… But you already knew. (Already knew…) You’re my bad habit. (Ooh-ooh…) And I ain’t tryna quit.
