Lyrics

Bad Habit

I wish I knew you—
Wanted me
I wish I knew
I wish I knew you wanted me
I wish I knew
I wish I knew you wanted me
What you, ooh
Oh, what'd you do?
Made a move
Could've made a move
If I knew
I'd be with you
Is it too late to pursue?
I bite my tongue, it's a bad habit
Kinda mad that I didn't take a stab at it
Thought you were too good for me, my dear
Never gave me time of day, my dear
It's okay, things happen for
Reasons that I think are sure, yeah
I wish I knew
I wish I knew you wanted me
I wish I knew
I wish I knew you wanted me
I wish I knew
I wish I knew you wanted me
I wish I knew
I wish I knew you wanted me
Please, say to me
If you still want it
I wish
You wouldn't play with me
I wanna know
Can I bite your tongue like my bad habit?
Would you mind if I tried to make a pass at it?
Now you're not too good for me, my dear
Funny, you come back to me, my dear
It's okay, things happen for
Reasons that I can't ignore, yeah
I wish I knew
I wish I knew you wanted me
I wish I knew
I wish I knew you wanted me
You can't surprise a Gemini
I'm everywhere, I'm cross eyed-ed
Now that you're back, I can decide
If I decide if you're invited
You always knew the way to wow me
Fuck around, get tongue tied-ed
I turn it on and make it rowdy
Then carry on but I'm not hiding
You grabbing me hard
'Cause you know what you found
It's biscuits, it's gravy, babe
You can't surprise a Gemini
But you know
It's biscuits, it's gravy, babe
I knew you'd come back around
'Cause you know
It's biscuits, it's gravy, babe
Let's fuck in the back of the mall
Lose control
Go stupid, go crazy, babe
I know I'll be in your heart
Till the end
You'll miss me, don't date me, babe
