Chicago The Band "Hard Habit To Break" 1992

Hard Habit To Break
Steve Kipner/J. Parker

I guess I thought you'd be here forever
Another illusion I chose to create
You don't know what ya got until it's gone
And I found out just a little too late

I was acting as if you were lucky to have me
Doin' you a favor I hardly knew you were there
But then you were gone and it was all wrong
Had no idea how much I cared

Chorus:
Now being without you
Takes a lot of getting used to
Should learn to live with it
But I don't want to
Living without you
Is all a big mistake
Instead of getting easier
It's the hardest thing to take
I'm addicted to ya babe
You're a hard habit to break

You found someone else you had every reason
You know I can't blame you for runnin' to him
Two people together but living alone
I was spreading my love too thin

After all of these years
I'm still tryin' to shake it
Doin' much better they say that it just takes time
But deep in the night it's an endless flight
I can't get ya out of my mind

Chorus

2nd Chorus:
Being without you
Takes a lot of getting used to
Should learn to live with it
I don't want to
Being without you
Is all a big mistake
Instead of getting any easier
It's the hardest thing to take
I'm addicted to you
You're a hard habit to break

i love this song.. 1 of the greatest... agree?

[reah06]

your right, I agree with you 100%. Jason is there to sing the vocals and not to be another cetera.

[14darrenc]

cetera is better i think

[NordicBlood84]

Cetera distinguished Chicagos sound, that said Chicago moved on and did well. I guess I'm more of cetera fan than Chicago itself.

[kynacz]

4 dislikes came from Bieber shit

[bubbabianchi]

I'm sorry all you cetara fans buy I think he sounds very 'pitchy' live to use an AI term. I think Jason is a great singer and bass player and has served the band exceptionally well all these years! He does a better job singing cetara than cetara does.

Music!!! Real MUSIC YAY!!! :D

[Tippersnore]

I'm addicted to Chicago...

[TheCanadianWest]

Without Peter this is like amateur hour.

[cverte]

good

[utahdrumtech]

I love the keyboard sounds used back in the day, they sound much better than a dry piano patch... Champlin really had the "power" in his voice back then...

[TheMaryhodges]

i can relate to you imagine throwing 13 years away for nothing and two kids,

Hes been gone 10 years now no word.
