Lying’s Just A Habit John

[Verse 1]
I should be mad at you, but
John, I'm mad at you
Why do you tell lies like you do?
My friend, listen here
You could get somebody killed-a
It's not hard to tell the truth, no-no
Ooh-wee, 'cause

[Chorus]
Lying's just a habit, John
That's all it is
Lying's just a habit, John
Ask anybody
Lyin's just a habit, John
You can break it if ya try
Lying's just a habit, John
Lying's just a habit, John, ooh
Lying's just a habit, John
And you can break it if you try

[Verse 2]
You told Sally Mae
A-that you saw me kissin' Annie's feet
Now why you wanna say that?
John, you know that lie doesn't pay
If Sally was a kind of girl
Who believed everything she heard-a
You know you would have me in an awful mess
I guess you know that, don't you?
Listen, ooh-wee

[Chorus]
Lying's just a habit, John
That's all it is
Lying is just a habit, John
Lying's just a habit, John
You can break it if ya try
Lying's just a habit, John
Lying's just a habit, John
Lying's just a habit, John
And you can break it if you try
Listen to me

[Verse 3]
It's alright with me
To tell a lie to keep some harmony
But that ain't the kind of liе
That you told on me
Your kind of lie will wreck-a
My chancеs for a pension's check, ha-ha
Oh, you got to learn how to tell the truth
You gonna get everybody messed up
Listen, ooh-wee

[Chorus]
Lying's just a habit, John
Lying's just a habit, John
Everybody got one
Lying's a habit, John
And you can break it if ya try
Lying's just a habit, John
Lying's just a habit, John
Lying's just a habit, John
And you can break it if you try
One more time

[Outro]
Lying's just a habit, John
Aw, shucks
Lying's just a habit, John
Lying's just a habit
