When the snake of love   Starts pulling you under   And it wont let go   'til it starts to thunder   And there's not a cloud in the sky   Gonna make him shake   I guess old habits are hard to break      Cause even the good ones   Just seem to go bad   Might be the sweetest love   That you ever had   You just cant let em go   For goodness sake   I guess old habits are hard to break      The trouble with sainthood, darlin'   You know it's tough comin down   But you've been doin it, doin it, doin it, doin it, doin it   Since you left your hometown   A regular joan of arc   Burnin at the stake   I guess old habits are hard to break      Maybe the first time he kissed you   The fireworks flew in the back of your mind   And you been lookin just to   Feel this good ever since   But now every time he makes love to ya   Hes just a little bit more unkind   Until it feels like every move you make is in self defense      That ain't the facts of life   Its just bad fiction   Honey that sure ain't love   You know it's just an addiction   Now how much more abuse are you gonna take   I guess old habits are hard to break      Could be your father   Could be your mother   Might be your sister   Or maybe even your brother   Or is it your own self baby   Youve been tryin to shake      Well I guess old habits are hard to break   I guess old habits are hard to break   I guess old habits are hard to break   I guess old habits are hard to break
