One step forward - two steps back
Living on the edge - it's as simple as that
I'm no Mr. Lucky - I've never been close

I'm higher than some - but I'm lower than most

Just when you thought that you'd got it made

The (*##$ draws blood again
You sow as you reap - the same mistakes
Buddy rings the bell - begin the same


Bad habits - bad habits die hard
Bad habits - bad habits die hard


I'm stuck in a rut - but I'm burning inside
I am what I am - just a low-down bum

Always end up in trouble - just trying to be good
But with tumbling dice - the sixes will come


Bad habits - bad habits die hard
I know I got a lot of bad habits - bad habits die hard
I bet you got Œem too


One step forward - two steps back
I get caught in the middle - nailed to the rack

Got a load of bad habits - corrupted within
I'm a freak of nature - full of vices and sins


Just when you thought that you'd got it made
The (*##$ draws blood again
You sow as you reap - the same mistakes

Buddy rings the bell - begin the game

Bad habits - bad habits die hard

Bad habits - bad habits die hard
I know I got a lot of bad habits - bad habits die hard
Everybody's got bad habits - bad habits die hard
