Smokin' cigarettes got a hold of me   Long about the summer of 1993   Rushin' in just like a fool   Used to be my golden rule   Long before I graduated school   But the one that got to me   Knocked me damn near off my feet   Came up like a southern breeze   Knocked me to my knees      My only bad habit comes with lovin' you   But I don't think about you as much as you want me to   And if it gives me cancer, and if it gives me shakes   It's one of my habits, baby, I ain't gonna break   No surgeon general's gonna tell me what to do   My only bad habit, baby, comes with lovin' you      I had bout with Mary Jane   She damn near drove me insane   To the point that she had to hit the road   Wild Turkey slightly chilled   Cocaine and prescription pills   Soon enough that starts gettin' old   The promise that I make to you   Is you won't ever not feel new   You're the one that gets to me   Drop me to my knees      My only bad habit comes with lovin' you   But I don't think about you as much as you want me to   And if it gives me cancer, and if it gives me shakes   It's one of my habits, baby, I ain't gonna break   No surgeon general's gonna tell me what to do   My only bad habit, baby, comes with lovin' you      And if it gives me cancer   If it gives me shakes   It's one of my habits, baby, that I ain't gonna break   No surgeon general's gonna tell me what to do   My only bad habit, baby, comes with lovin' you   My only bad habit, baby, comes with lovin' you
