🎤 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
