Smokin' cigarettes got a hold of me Long about the summer of 1993 Rushin' in just like a fool Used to be my golden rule Long before I graduated school But the one that got to me Knocked me damn near off my feet Came up like a southern breeze Knocked me to my knees (Chorus) My only bad habit comes with lovin' you But I don't think about you as much as you want me to And if it gives me cancer, and if it gives me shakes It's one of my habits, baby, I ain't gonna break No surgeon general's gonna tell me what to do My only bad habit, baby, comes with lovin' you I had bout with Mary Jane She damn near drove me insane To the point that she had to hit the road Wild Turkey slightly chilled Cocaine and prescription pills Soon enough that starts gettin' old The promise that I make to you Is you won't ever not feel new You're the one that gets to me Drop me to my knees Repeat Chorus And if it gives me cancer If it gives me shakes It's one of my habits, baby, that I ain't gonna break No surgeon general's gonna tell me what to do My only bad habit, baby, comes with lovin' you My only bad habit, baby, comes with lovin' you
