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
