Can’t Kick The Habit

by The Spin Doctors

Can’t kick that habit
I guess you know
What _____1________
But here I go
I can’t stand it
Facing this alone

Don’t change the subject
If it’s not clear
Don’t say you’re _____2_______
Then disappear
Because that means nothing
Nothing if you’re not here

Can’t turn it off alone

Can’t turn it off alone

Can’t turn it off alone

I can sing
But I can’t sigh
I can barely breathe the _____3____ I need
To justify why I sank so low
To get so high
I can’t kick the habit

I can’t kick the habit

I can’t kick the habit

To save my soul

One foot in ___4_____
One in the hole
My whole focus
In a poison picture show

Can’t turn it off alone

Can’t turn it off alone

Can’t turn it off alone

I can sing
But I can’t sigh
I can barely breathe the _____5____ I need
To justify why I sank so low
To get so high
I can’t kick the habit

I can’t kick the habit

If I let you in
Will you let me in?

I can’t kick the habit…
