The Kooks – Bad Habit Lyrics

Baby got our head down
Baby got our head down to the ground¹
Looking for a stranger
Looking for a stranger to love²
You got to dot your I’s and cross your t’s
You gotta let go, come with me³
Looking for a stranger
Looking for a stranger to love

You say you want it, but
You can’t get it in
You got yourself a bad habit for it⁴
Oh look at you, walking up and down a pole
And saying please save me,⁵
You say you want it, but
You can’t get it in
You got yourself a bad habit for it
Oh look at you, walking up and down a pole
A saying please,
Oh man, oh man, oh man
You know I wish I had it all⁶

Baby got our head down
Baby trying to stand down in the crowd
Looking for a stranger
Looking for a stranger to love
You got to dot your I’s and cross your t’s
You gotta let go, come with me
Looking for a stranger
Looking for a stranger to love

You say you want it, but
You can’t get it in
You got yourself a bad habit for it
Oh look at you, walking up and down a pole
A saying please save me,
You say you want it, but
You can’t get it in
You got yourself a bad habit for it
Oh look at you, walking up and down a pole
A saying please,
Oh man, oh man, oh man
You know I wish I had it all

You know I wish I had it all

You say you want it, but
You can’t get it in
You got yourself a bad habit for it
Oh look at you, walking up and down a pole
A saying please,
Oh man, oh man, oh man

You can’t get it, it’s a
A bad habit, such a
A bad habit such a bad bad habit
It’s a, a bad habit⁷
