My One Bad Habit

by Carmen McRae

Lyrics
I neither smoke nor drink nor swear
My habits are sublime
And at the risk of seeming square
Resist temptation all the time
One weakness I possess
In all meekness I confess

My one bad habit is falling in love
And falling right out again

My resolution: forget the past
Don't fall too fast and make it last
The dreams that mattered
Have all been shattered
They're long since scattered, gone
My grand illusion was all delusion
My revolution is on

To break that habit of falling in love
With someone who doesn't care
I'm out to conquer, so love beware
No more despair in this love affair
It's now or never, my last endeavor
To love forevermore

So please treat me gently, for evidently
Your bad habit, like my bad habit
Is falling in love
Just one little shove

And I'll start falling again, yeah
I'll start falling again, oops
Let's start falling again
