John Hiatt - Old Habits Lyrics

When the snake of love Starts pulling you under And it wont let go ’til it starts to thunder And there’s not a cloud in the sky Gonna make him shake I guess old habits are hard to break Cause even the good ones Just seem to go bad Might be the sweetest love That you ever had You just cant let em go For goodness sake I guess old habits are hard to break The trouble with sainthood, darlin’ You know it’s tough comin down But you’ve been doin it, doin it, doin it, doin it, doin it Since you left your hometown A regular joan of arc Burnin at the stake I guess old habits are hard to break Maybe the first time he kissed you The fireworks flew in the back of your mind And you been lookin just to Feel this good ever since But now every time he makes love to ya Hes just a little bit more unkind Until it feels like every move you make is in self defense That ain’t the facts of life Its just bad fiction Honey that sure ain’t love You know it’s just an addiction Now how much more abuse are you gonna take I guess old habits are hard to break Could be your father Could be your mother Might be your sister Or maybe even your brother Or is it your own self baby Youve been tryin to shake Well I guess old habits are hard to break I guess old habits are hard to break I guess old habits are hard to break I guess old habits are hard to break John Hiatt Lyrics Old Habits Lyrics
