Bad Habit
Steve Lacy Lyrics

I wish I knew you wanted me
The singer regrets not knowing earlier that the person they're interested in has feelings for them

What you, ooh, uh, what you do?
The singer is asking what the other person wants and why they're sending mixed signals

Made a move, could've made a move
The singer wishes they had made a move earlier when they had the chance

If I knew I'd be with you
The singer thinks they would be in a relationship with the other person if they had known they were interested

Is it too late to pursue?
The singer is asking if it's too late to start a relationship now that they know the other person is interested in them

I bite my tongue, it's a bad habit
The singer is figuratively biting their tongue because they regret not pursuing a relationship earlier

Kinda mad that I didn't take a stab at it
The singer is frustrated with themselves for not taking a chance on the relationship

Thought you were too good for me, my dear
The singer believed the other person was too out of their league to be interested in a relationship

Never gave me time of day, my dear
The other person never paid attention to the singer despite their interest in them

It's okay, things happen for Reasons that I think are sure, yeah
The singer is accepting that everything happens for a reason, even if they don't fully understand it

Please say to me (please, just say to me) If you still want it
The singer is asking the other person if they still want to pursue a relationship

Uh, can I bite your tongue like my bad habit?
The singer is asking if they can take a chance and pursue a relationship now that they know the other person is interested

Would you mind if I tried to make a pass at it?
The singer is asking for permission to try to start a relationship

No, you're not too good for me, my dear
The singer has changed their mind and now believes the other person is not too out of their league to be interested in

Funny you'd come back to me, my dear
The other person has come back into the singer's life, which is unexpected but welcomed

Reasons that I can't ignore, yeah
The singer believes that everything happens for a reason and can't ignore the signs pointing to a relationship with the other person

You can't surprise a Gemini
The singer is a Gemini and believes they're hard to surprise

I'm everywhere, I'm cross-eyed-ed
The singer is all over the place and can't focus

Now that you're back, I can't decide
The other person's return has made it difficult for the singer to make a decision about the relationship

If I decide if you're invited
The singer is trying to decide if they want to pursue a relationship with the other person

You always knew the way to wow me
The other person has always been able to impress the singer

Fuck around, get tongue-tied-ed
The singer gets flustered and can't speak clearly when around the other person

I turn it on, I make it rowdy Then carry on, but I'm not hidin'
The singer is able to put on a confident and outgoing front, but they're not hiding their true feelings

You grabbin' me hard 'cause you know what you found It's biscuits, is gravy, babe
The other person is holding onto the singer tightly because they're happy they found someone to be with

Let's fuck in the back of the mall, lose control Go stupid, go crazy, babe
The singer and other person want to be intimate and let loose without any inhibitions

I know I'll be in your heart 'til the end You'll miss me, don't beg me, babe
The singer believes they will always be in the other person's heart, but they don't want the other person to beg for their affection
