Old Habits Die Hard

(album: Uptown - 1987)

It's my decision
She looks my way
With innocent expression
Just as if to say
It would be easy
The mood is right
Forget for just one moment
Who we are tonight

I start to weaken, the music's strong
My conscience speaking, I know it's wrong

Give it up, remember what you said
This kind of loving doesn't happen every day
Give it up that's the way it starts
Discover old habits die hard
Temptation makes a fool out of us all

I made my mind up
It had to end
So why this indecision
When she comes again
The thought's appealing
I can't deny
With those old memories
Stealing back across my mind

I thought by now the flame had gone
I realize that I'm still holding on

Give it up remember what you said
This kind of loving doesn't happen every day
Give it up that's the way it starts
Discover old habits die hard
Temptation makes a fool out of us all

I'll just keep holding on
It's easier said than done
Old habits die hard
