Can't Break the Habit

Merle Haggard

I can kick any habit  that is if I want to*
Or I can lay off  whatever I’m on
But of all the things  that I’ve been a slave to
Hey you’re the one thing  I can’t leave alone
 
I can’t break the habit  love is too strong
I can’t take the cure now  I’ve been hooked to long
I crave your loving  wouldn’t quit if I could
Can’t break the habit  cause I have it to good
 
I can stay off the bottle  go straight if I want to
Or I can stay high  till the curtain comes down
I used to get around love  and move on if I had to
But you’re the one thing  I can’t get around
