Bad Habits
Ed Sheeran · 2021
🎤 Sing along
Sing with the chorus
- Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
- Every time you come around, you know I can't say no
- Every time the sun goes down, I let you take control
- I can feel the paradise before my world implodes
Echo the hook
- My bad habits lead to you
- Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
- My bad habits lead to you
- Every pure intention ends when the good times start
