Lyrics
It ain’t wrong to say
I can’t start the day
Without a shot of
What makes it right
’cause baby if i miss
Just one little kiss
I’ll be jonesin’ ’til tonightI’m a slave to the habit
Slave to the habit
Chained to the way you do that thing you do
Im a stone cold addict
You know i gots to have it
I’m a slave to the habit of loving youThere was a day i remember
Last november
I decided i could leave you alone
But my heart started aching
My hands started shaking
My feet brought me straight back homeI’m a slave to the habit
Slave to the habit
Chained to the way you do that thing you do
Im a stone cold addict
You know i gots to have it
I’m a slave to the habit of loving youOh no! ain’t no way to help it
Girl you got me hooked on your love
Oh no! how can i quit it?
When i can’t ever never get enoughI’m a slave to the habit
Slave to the habit
Chained to the way you do that thing you do
Im a stone cold addict
You know i gots to have it
I’m a slave to the habit of loving you
