Old Habits Die Hard

About Old Habits Die Hard

"Old Habits Die Hard" is a song from the 2004 movie Alfie, with music by David Stewart and lyrics by Mick Jagger, and performed by Jagger. It won the 2005 Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song. However, the song failed to get nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song, making it the first in five consecutive years where the song that won the Golden Globe was not nominated for an Oscar. It was followed by "A Love That Will Never Grow Old" from Brokeback Mountain (2005), "The Song of the Heart" from Happy Feet (2006), "Guaranteed" from Into the Wild (2007), and the title theme from The Wrestler (2008). Two versions of "Old Habits Die Hard" are available in the Alfie soundtrack: One performed by Mick Jagger alone, and second version featuring Sheryl Crow. The song also features backing vocals by then-unknown pop singer Katy Perry. more »

I thought I shook myself free 
You see I bounce back quicker than most 
But I'm half delirious, Is too mysterious 
You walk through my walls like a ghost 
And I take everyday at a time 
I'm as proud as a Lion in his Lair 
Now there's no denying it, a note to crying it 
Your all tangled up in my head 

Old habits die hard 
Old soldiers just fade away 
Old habits die hard 
Harder than November rain 
Old habits die hard 
Old soldiers just fade away 
Old habits die hard 
Hard enough to feel the pain 

We haven't spoken in months 
You see I've been counting the days 
I dream of such humanities, such insanities 
I'm lost like a kid and I'm late 
But I've never taken your coats 
Haven't no block on my phone 
I act like an addict, I just got to have it 
I can never just leave it alone 

Old habits die hard 
Old soldiers just fade away 
Old habits die hard 
Harder than November rain 
Old habits die hard 
Old soldiers just fade away 
Old habits die hard 
Hard enough to feel the pain 

And I can't give you up 
Can't leave you alone 
And its so hard, so hard 
And hard enough to feel the pain 

Old habits die hard 
Old soldiers just fade away 
Old habits die hard 
Harder than November rain 
Old habits die hard 
Old soldiers just fade away 
Old habits die hard 
Hard enough to feel the pain
