Bad Habit Lyrics - Liz Longley - Liz Longley

I couldn't stand the smell of smoke 

Until he lit that cigarette 

I never felt a temptation 

Until I smelled it on his breath 

And the night we first kissed 

On the balcony alone 

Well, he tasted like trouble 

But he felt like my own 

Oh, bad habit, I can't be without 

Oh, bad habit, bittersweet on my mouth 

We got a long, drawn-out story 

I don't want to explain 

I picked up a bad habit 

And I'll never be the same 

Even after all the love we made 

All the records we spun 

I was dying for more 

Just trying to fill up my lungs 

But I knew it right then 

He could never love me back 

Still, I told myself 

I'd never feel anything quite like that 

Oh, bad habit, I can't be without 

Oh, bad habit, bittersweet on my mouth 

We got a long, drawn-out story 

I don't want to explain 

I picked up a bad habit 

And I'll never be the same 

I'll light it up, breathe it in 

Let it all go, and I'll do it again 

Light it up, breathe it in 

I swear it almost feels like him 

I remember when it felt like the first time 

There ain't nothing like a first time 

Bad habit, I'm gonna put you out 

Oh, bad habit, I will miss you on my mouth 

But we had a long, drawn-out story 

And it was bound to end someday 

Oh, bad habit, oh, bad habit 

I'll never be the same
