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 bitch 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 ’em 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 bitch 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
