Can't overcome it, it's what I do best I'll pick your pocket for your last red cent It's a disease, I'm stricken like the rest Never return anything I'm lent It wasn't me, yeah you know it wasn't me It must've been someone who looked like me Innocent until proven guilty And you ain't got a thing on me Your possessions, your worldly possessions Mean more to me than your protective obsessions You wanna hide 'em, lock 'em up inside and Throw away the key so I can't find em It's a shame, it's a god-damned shame I'm the culprit but you're the one to blame I'll take another lesson from my mother It's better to take than get took Steal a dollar, steal a dime Force of habit will hit you every time In your pockets, invade your space Force of habit anytime or anyplace Pay attention keep an eye on all your cash Force of habit will deprive you of your stash If I do it, yeah, if I get caught Force of habit is the problem that I got Mama told me look but don't touch But that only made me want it more Doesn't matter if you're a friend or foe 'cause your house is my candy store I admit I know I got a problem But temptation is controlling me I can't resist a five-fingered discount Everything for me is free
