Bad Habits
usher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I just can't escape all of these bad habits
I had way too many one nights, yeah
I keep messin' up my love life, yeah
I love love, I'm just bad at it
I just can't escape all of these bad habits
I had way too many one nights, yeah
I keep messin' up my love life, yeah
Every time I think that I found the one
I turn around and then another one come
On God, I be tryin' baby
And you should know the truth, I ain't lyin' baby
Every time I see my new girl, it's the best
Then I get another text from my ex
On God, it's like clockwork
She come through, I take her down and buy a new purse
So, now you got to pray just a little
Make a way, just a little
'Til the day I finally figure it out
Don't know what all these emotions about
Baby
I love love, I'm just bad at it
I just can't escape all of these bad habits
I had way too many one nights, yeah
I keep messin' up my love life, yeah
I love love, I'm just bad at it
I just can't escape all of these bad habits
I had way too many one nights, yeah
I keep messin' up my love life, yeah
If you knew how bad I wish that I could love you, baby
I keep messin' up my love life
If you knew how bad I wish that I could love you, baby
I keep messin' up my love life
You take me back and then I lie to you again
I slipped into the DM of your best friend
Oh God, I didn't mean it
Truth is I only messed up because you seen it
When I say I love you, girl, I swear I really do
I did some things to you, I knew it wasn't cool
On God, can you forgive me?
I mean, look past all of my and forgive me
So, now you got to pray just a little (will you pray for me?)
Make a way, just a little
'Til the day I finally figure it out
Don't know what all these emotions about
Baby
I love love, I'm just bad at it
I just can't escape all of these bad habits
I had way too many one nights, yeah
I keep messin' up my love life, yeah
I love love, I'm just bad at it
I just can't escape all of these bad habits
I had way too many one nights, yeah
I keep messin' up my love life, yeah
If you knew how bad I wish that I could love you, baby
I keep messin' up my love life
If you knew how bad I wish that I could love you, baby
I keep messin' up my love life
I can't get it right, I try and I try
But I end up right back where I started
Don't take my advice
If I didn't know any better, I would think that I was heartless
I told you a million lies, sorry a million times
Never wanted you to cry, baby
Got way too good at makin' you hurt
'Cause in love I was the worst, baby
I love love, I admit I'm bad at it
Tryna get over all of these bad habits
Way, way too many one nights, yeah
Messin' up my love life, yeah
I love love, I admit I'm bad at it
Bad to my mind but with all these bad habits
I had way too many one nights
Messin' up my love life
If you knew how bad I wish that I could love you, baby
I keep messin' up my love life
If you knew how bad I wish that I could love you, baby
I keep messin' up my love life
