Oh, oh, oh, oh

Catch you later, baby
I've got to split
I've got a habit I just can't quit
Catch you later, baby
I gotta split
I've got a habit I just can't quit

Oh, oh, (oh, oh)
It's biting my nails
Oh, oh, (oh, oh)
It's biting my nails
Oh, oh (oh, oh)
It's biting my nails
Oh, oh (oh, oh)

A flake of snow on a silver spoon
A pretty woman and a big full moon
A handsome man with a diamond ring
How he wishes he had that thing

Oh, oh, (oh, oh)
It's biting my nails
Oh, oh, (oh, oh)
It's biting my nails
Oh, oh, (oh, oh)
It's biting my nails
Oh, oh, (oh, oh)
He's got the fingers in her parted lips
He's got the hand up on her Africa hips
(Give me money for the dentist honey!)
I've got a habit, and it's all mine

Oh, oh, (oh, oh)
It's biting my nails
Oh, oh, (oh, oh)
It's biting my nails
Oh, oh, (oh, oh)
It's biting my nails
Oh, oh (oh, oh)
