Habit Lyrics
[Verse 1]
See it happen to a couple of friends
Seen it happen and the message it sends
Takin' off for what's an obvious fall
Just to see what all the fuss is about
[Refrain]
It's not your way!
Not your way
It's not your way! (Hey)
[Verse 2]
Another habit says it's in love with you
Another habit says it's love's overdue
Another habit like an unwanted friend
I'm so happy with my righteous self
[Refrain]
It's not your way!
Not your way
It's not your way!
[Chorus]
Never thought you'd habit
Never thought you'd habit
Never thought you'd habit
I never thought you, never thought you
Never thought you'd habit
Never thought you'd habit
Never thought you'd habit
I never thought you, never, never thought you
See it happen to a couple of friends
Seen it happen and the message it sends
Takin' off for what's an obvious fall
Just to see what all the fuss is about
[Refrain]
It's not your way!
Not your way
It's not your way! (Hey)
[Verse 2]
Another habit says it's in love with you
Another habit says it's love's overdue
Another habit like an unwanted friend
I'm so happy with my righteous self
[Refrain]
It's not your way!
Not your way
It's not your way!
[Chorus]
Never thought you'd habit
Never thought you'd habit
Never thought you'd habit
I never thought you, never thought you
Never thought you'd habit
Never thought you'd habit
Never thought you'd habit
I never thought you, never, never thought you
[Bridge]
Never thought you'd habit
Never thought you'd habit
Never thought you'd habit
Never thought you'd habit
Never thought you'd habit
Never thought you'd habit
(Speakin' as a child of the 90's)
[Chorus]
Never thought you'd habit
Never thought you'd habit
Never thought you'd habit
I never thought you, never thought you
Never thought you'd habit
Never thought you'd habit
Never thought you'd habit
I never thought you, never, never thought you
Never…
[Outro]
Never me
Never you
Never me
Never thought you'd habit
Never thought you'd habit
Never thought you'd habit
Never thought you'd habit
Never thought you'd habit
Never thought you'd habit
(Speakin' as a child of the 90's)
[Chorus]
Never thought you'd habit
Never thought you'd habit
Never thought you'd habit
I never thought you, never thought you
Never thought you'd habit
Never thought you'd habit
Never thought you'd habit
I never thought you, never, never thought you
Never…
[Outro]
Never me
Never you
Never me
