Bad Habit Lyrics
[Intro: Steve Lacy & Fousheé]
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
[Verse 1: Steve Lacy]
What you, ooh, uh, what you do?
Made a move, could've made a move
If I knew I'd be with you
Is it too late to pursue?
[Chorus: Steve Lacy]
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
[Post-Chorus: Steve Lacy & Fousheé]
I wish I knew
I wish I knew you wanted me (I wish I knew)
I wish I knew (Oh)
I wish I knew you wanted me
I wish I knew (Yeah)
I wish I knew you wanted me (Oh)
I wish I knew
I wish I knew you wanted me

[Verse 2: Steve Lacy]
Please say to me (Please just say to me)
If you still want it
I wish you wouldn't play with me
I wanna know (I wanna know)
[Chorus: Steve Lacy]
Can I bite your tongue like my bad habit?
Would you mind if I tried to make a pass at it?
No, 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
[Post-Chorus: Steve Lacy & Fousheé]
I wish I knew
I wish I knew you wanted me
I wish I knew (Wish I knew)
I wish I knew you wanted me (Oh)
[Bridge: Steve Lacy]
You can't surprise a Gemini (I wish I knew)
I'm everywhere, I'm cross-eyed, and (I wish I knew you wanted me)
Now that you're back, I can't decide (I wish I knew)
If I decide if you're invited (I wish I knew you wanted me)
You always knew the way to wow me
Fuck around, get tongue-tied, and
I turn it on, I make it rowdy
Then carry on, but I'm not hidin'
You grabbin' me hard 'cause you know what you found
It's biscuits, it's gravy, babe
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro: Steve Lacy, Steve Lacy & Fousheé]
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 'til the end
You'll miss me, don't beg me, babe
Meaning of Bad Habit
The song 'Bad Habit' is a vulnerable and yearning exploration of regret and second chances in a romantic relationship. Steve Lacy expresses his frustration and longing after a failed connection, grappling with the feeling of not knowing what he wanted from the other person. The repetitive ‘I wish I knew’ emphasizes this missed opportunity and desire for understanding. Despite acknowledging the potential difference in their status and perceived feelings, he ultimately yearns for a return, characterized by impulsive attraction and a willingness to embrace chaos.
