Circle left
Can't help myself, bad habits
I'm running wild lost control
Men star right go once around tonight
Allemande left and then box the gnat
Girls star left, inside that ring
Swing with your girl and promenade
*It's a shame to see, that a boy like me
Has got so many bad habits

Heads (Sides) pass the ocean, extend and then
Swing thru and the boys run right
Now couples circulate, girls cross run
Tag the line and cloverleaf
Boys square thru 3, girls half sashay
Swing your corner and promenade
It's a shame to see that a boy like me
Has got so many bad habits

Sides face grand square
Well it just ain't right, it's something I can't fight
I can't stop going out and having fun
Well I tried to be good, but I knew I never could
'cause I got more bad habits than anyone
4 boys promenade, inside the ring
Swing with your girl and promenade
Well I'm in a mess, 'cause I can't repress
All of these bad habits

4 ladies chain across the ring,
Now chain back to a dopaso
Sides face grand square
When I'm off the rails, my resistance fails
Temptations got a hold on me
And I can't refuse, cause I always lose
I can't help myself, bad habits
