[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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
Well 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

[Chorus]
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
[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
Mama told me, "Look, but don't touch."
But that only made me want it more
It 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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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
The problem that I got
Yeah
