Bad Man

You say you heard the talk About where I've been But while I walked that walk There and back again I don't remember ever seeing none of them around So let me be the first to curse my name into the ground They say I'm a bad man, and they're right I'm a bad man Baby, I think a bad man Would do you good So you broke your heart for some lonely broken man But it didn't break your heart. It only broke it in And it takes one to notice when someone takes time for noticing The subtle shift of shape and shade that made them call a spade a spade And say I'm a bad man Well OK, I'm a bad man Baby, I think a bad man Would do you good Oh, I'd do you good Let them walk the well-lit suburbs of their heart You ain't afraid of no alleyway when you are the thing in the dark So slip off what you don't want ripped off baby. It's all in my way Put my mouth over those stupid things you're taught you ought to say And the sun will rise Like God's good eye Soon everyone'll know We were never cool It'll be all over the entire middle school I mean You know The scene When they say I'm a bad man You could say I bet he makes a better bad man I bet he makes a better bad man My baby makes a better bad man Than you do good It's not love That you have for me It's not love Who said it had to be It's not love That I have for you But it'll have to do
