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 tonight

Chorus:
I'm a slave to the habit
Slave to the habit
Chained to the way you do that thing you do
I'm a stone cold addict
You know I gots to have it
I'm a slave to the habit of loving you

There 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 home

(Chorus)

Oh 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 enough

(Repeat chorus twice)
