Bad For Me
Phil Lee – Grim Reminder Music BMI
No I never met anyone quite like you
who could do the things you do
better than you
No one quite so quick, no one near as cute,
with that face like an Egyptian prostitute
Yeah with those angel eyes and that outlaw spirit
Your heart and the perfect love there within it
Hell no, this isn’t easy
Not as desperately hard as you’ve been
trying to please me
But this time, I really mean it
Everyone knows, anybody can see it
You’re bad for me
So now that you know what
brought me here friend,
you need to be told why I’m leaving again
Leaving real quick, quiet like a mouse
Hey I’ve got some explaining to do
back at the house
I’ve got to go home, fall down on the floor
and swear to some God I’ll never do this no more
That’s right, yes ma’am I said it
If it means anything at all to you,
yes I regret it
Hey, woah, yeah, you heard me clearly,
I still love you madly,
just don’t want you near me
You’re bad for me
I quite understand
why you’d be cold as ice,
I’ve had to be that way myself
once or twice
I’ve had to get mad, I’ve had to get mean,
I’ve had to be bad like you ain’t never seen
But it didn’t keep me clean,
well it kept me alive,
yeah but this here sweet deal
I just might not survive
Give it time? No babe, time won’t erase it
All of the love in the world
won’t replace it
Time? Oh no baby, it’s time to admit it
After all of this time, I think I finally get it
You’re bad for me
There’s always the time to do
what you want,
then comes the time when
you just bloody well don’t
Then you play by the rules,
you go by the book,
you try to return some of
the precious love you took
Well this is the point that I’m at right now,
the plan is to fix it, if I can, somehow
Nobody here doubts your charms,
I’m sure you’ll find someone
to die in your arms
Just not me babe, this is just wrong
and if you don’t think I’m leaving,
count the days that I’m gone
You’re bad for me
