Song Lyrics

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Catch you later, baby,
I've got to split
I've got a habit I just can't quit

Catch you later, baby,
I gotta split
I've got a habit I just can't quit


Oh, oh, (oh, oh)
It's biting my nails
Oh, oh, (oh, oh)
It's biting my nails

Oh, oh (oh, oh)
It's biting my nails
Oh, oh (oh, oh)

A flake of snow on a silver spoon
A pretty woman and a big full moon
A handsome man with a diamond ring
How he wishes he had that thing

Oh, oh, (oh, oh)
It's biting my nails
Oh, oh, (oh, oh)
It's biting my nails

Oh, oh, (oh, oh)
It's biting my nails
Oh, oh, (oh, oh)

He's got the fingers in her parted lips
He's got the hand up on her Africa hips
(Give me money for the dentist honey!)
I've got a habit, and it's all mine

Oh, oh, (oh, oh)
It's biting my nails
Oh, oh, (oh, oh)
It's biting my nails

Oh, oh, (oh, oh)
It's biting my nails
Oh, oh (oh, oh)

Ya ya, la la la la (doobie dubba dud da da)
Ya, ya, la la la la (doobie dubba dud da da)
Ya, ya, la la la la (doobie dubba dud da da)
Ya ya, la la la la (doobie dubba dud da da)

Now, if you're gonna see me biting my nails,
You just ell my mama,
Yeah, she gonna spank me
'Cause I don't want a bad habit

I don't like it
I don't want one
I'm gonna, I'm gonna... p-p-put it donw
I'm gonna, I'm gonna... g-g-give it up, you;ll see

Oh, oh, (oh, oh)
It's biting my nails
Oh, oh (oh, oh)
It's biting my nails

Oh, oh (oh, oh)
It's biting my nails
Oh, oh (oh, oh)...
