Bad Habit lyrics

[Verse 1: Kelly]

How many times

Are you gonna apologize about the same thing

And how many times can I take you back

When I'm not the one that's doing wrong

(When I'm not the one that's doing wrong, yeah)

I thought maybe if I started praying

That we would get better, but

When I would pray the answer would always come

Back to me, being done

But we are so hard headed when we're in love

So I

[Chorus:]

I told myself that I would make some changes (yeah)

But the more I change there's one thing

that remains the same (remains the same)

I can't seem to shake ya

You seem to really have a hold on me

And everytime that we break up

We turn around and make up

This can't go on now (no)

I gotta move on now

It's not the fact I don't love you no more

But I gotta break this bad habit

Can't take this bad habit no more

[Verse 2: Kelly]

I'm totally out of my element

Learnin' new ways to live

While you're in a comfort zone

Not even thinking (you couldn't think about me)

To call, and when I get mad you buy me gifts

Thinking it's gonna solve every issue

From the girl calling my phone

To the pictures that I saw

And every time you would break up with me for nothing at all

I've taken all I can take (I've taken all I can take)

But the way I live has gotta change, oh

[Chorus:]

I told myself that I would make some changes

(I told myself that I would)

But the more I change there's one thing

that remains the same (remains the same)

I can't seem to shake ya (ooh shake ya)

You seem to really have a hold on me

(you really got a hold on me)

And everytime that we break up

We turn around and make up (turn it around)

This can't go on now (I can do it no more, baby)

I gotta move on now (no, no, no, no, no)

It's not the fact I don't love you no more (love you no more)

But I gotta break this bad habit (habit)

Can't take his bad habit no more

[Bridge: Kelly]

(Let me break it down)

Have you ever loved somebody

So much that you was just too blind to see

Past, all of the pain they was causing you (causing you)

Ladies do you feel me (do you feel me)

Have you ever loved somebody

So much that you went against the right things that you should do

Then it's time to make a change

So I

[Chorus with ad-libs:]

I told myself that I would make some changes

(Make some changes)

But the more I change there's one thing

that remains the same (baby, it remains the same)

I can't seem to shake ya (I can't shake ya)

You seem to really have a hold on me

(You really got a hold on me)

And everytime that we break up

We turn around and make up (turn that around)

This can't go on now (I can't go on now)

I gotta move on now (no, no, no)

It's not the fact I don't love you no more (love you no more)

But I gotta break this bad habit (habit, baby!)

Can't take his bad habit no more (habit no more)
