Nasty Habits Songtext
von Oingo Boingo

Here′s something to think about
Where would we be now without
Nasty habits, nasty habits

Makes me want to scream and shout
Life would be so dull without
Nasty habits, nasty habits

All those naughty little things
That we don't discuss publicly
Nasty habits, nasty habits

Tell me your secrets
Tell me your name
Tell me your secrets

Does it please you to employ
Little girls or little boys?
Nasty habits, nasty habits

Do you like to romp and play
By yourself when they′re away?
Nasty affair, what do I care?


Do you peek at magazines
Filled with doggies and leather queens?
Nasty habits, nasty habits

Tell me your secrets
That no one should hear
Whisper them softly into my ear
I won't tell, I won't tell

People act so proper when they′re going ′bout their business
Cup of coffee, friendly conversation
'Til they get home, ′til they get home

Take the phone off, lock the door and shut the curtains
Make sure that the neighbors are without suspicion
No one will know, no one will know

Nasty habits, I must condone
No one knows what I do when I'm all alone
Nasty habits, I′m so ashamed

Nasty habits here to stay, now they'll never go away
Try and stop, you′ll have to pay
Nasty habits are here to stay

People act so proper when they're going 'bout their business
Cup of coffee, friendly conversation
′Til they get home, ′til they get home


Take the phone off, lock the door and shut the curtains
Make sure that the neighbors are without suspicion
No one will know, no one will know

Nasty habits, I must condone
No one knows what I do when I'm all alone
Nasty habits, I′m so ashamed
But we must not let that stop our little game
Nasty habits are so much fun

Nasty habits, here to stay
Now they'll never go away
Try and stop you′ll have to pay
Nasty habits, here to stay
