Lyrics:

Baby got our head down
Baby tryna stand down in the crowd
Looking for a stranger
Looking for a stranger to love
You got to touch your eyes and crush your tears
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
Oh look at you, walking up and down a pole
I say breathe, stay with me
You say you want it, but
You can't get it in
You got yourself a bad habit
Oh look at you, walking up and down a pole
I say breathe
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
Oh look at you walking up and down the hall
I say breathe
Oh man, oh man, oh man

You cant get it, it's a
a bad habit, such a
A bad habit such a bad bad habit
it's a, a bad habit
