Kick My Cheatin' Habits Songtext
von Little Milton

Hey, y′all
I gotta change my lifestyle
It's too dangerous

I gotta kick the cheatin′ habit
Said I gotta kick the cheatin' habit, oh
This old dog has gotten tired of chasin' rabbits, yes, I have
I′m tired of jumpin′ out of windows, runnin' out back doors
Sleepin′ in closets, crawlin' on the floor
I′m in too thick, I've gotta kick the cheatin′ habit, yes, I have

Hey, I don't know how
But I really gotta do it, mm
I know that all it's gonna take is a fine-lookin′ woman
To push me back into it (push me back into it)
You see, just the other night
I was makin′ love to a married woman in her home
We were in the bed sho' nuff gettin′ it on
But all of a sudden, her husband came home
I had to leave runnin' with nothin′ but my drawers on, mm


Hey, I gotta kick the cheatin' habit
I say, I gotta kick the cheatin′ habit, oh
This old dog has gotten tired of chasin' rabbits, yes, I have
I'm tired of jumpin′ out of windows, runnin′ out back doors
Sleepin' in closets, crawlin′ on the floor
I'm in much too thick, I′ve gotta kick the cheatin' habit, uh-huh

I′ve had more than my share of pretty women, hey, yeah!
You know, all of my friends tell me I'm lucky to be livin'
I guess they′re right, ′cause just last night
I was makin' love in my home to an old lady friend
Sayin′ to myself, "Milton, this has got to end"
When her old man kicked my door down, he brought Roscoe in
I had to bail out again, yes, I did, y'all

Oh, I gotta kick this cheatin′ habit, yes, I have
You know, I got to find me some other kind of habits
This old dog is gettin' tired of chasin′ rabbits, mm
I'm tired of jumpin' out of windows, runnin′ out back doors
Sleepin′ in closets, crawlin' on the floor
I′m in too thick, I gotta kick the cheatin' habit, yes, I have, y′all


Yeah, I'm gon′ kick it (kick the cheatin' habit)
If it's the last thing I do
And it might be the last thing I do if I don′t kick it (kick the cheatin′ habit)
You know, I think maybe I oughta just go to church (kick the cheatin' habit)
Yeah, that′s what I'll do, I should be safe in church (kick the cheatin′ habit)
Ooh-wee, look-a-here, what is this? (Kick the cheatin' habit)
Hey sister, you sure look good to me (kick the cheatin′ habit)
You say you're married
And your husband's on the deacon board? (Kick the cheatin′ habit)
Well, listen, take my number
Call me sometime (kick the cheatin′ habit)

Did anybody ever tell you that you smell like a bed of roses?
(Kick the cheatin' habit)
Oh, hey Mr. C, wait a minute, what are you doin′?
Well, here I go again (kick the cheatin' habit)
But I′m tryin', I′m tryin', yes I am, y'all (kick the cheatin′ habit)
Oh, I gotta kick
