Bad News

[Verse 1]
It's been a while since we talked, my old friend
But I'll dust off the top and decide to speak again
Yeah, I'm bad again
It's been a while since I sinned just like this
And I know when I drink, it's hard for it to end
Yeah, I'm bad again

[Chorus]
So don't stick around for too long
'Cause I'll tear you down and lead you on
And it's been a while since we've been out
But I've changed and I'm moving along
It ain't best for me, but it's best for you
So you better leave before too soon
'Cause I'll leave you hurt and leave you bruised
'Cause I'm bad news

[Verse 2]
Yeah, I'm bad news, I've used people as my muse
And I've suffered consequences that I've had to get used to
And it's sad to admit the things I do
But I know that I'm a madman and I'll probably ruin you
And I'd be glad to show the door and let you through
'Fore you start findin' out how my wicked ways are cruel
'Cause I'm bad news

[Chorus]
So don't stick around for too long
'Cause I'll tear you down and lead you on
And it's been a while since we've been out
But I've changed and I'm moving along
It ain't best for me, but it's best for you
So you better leave before too soon
'Cause I'll leave you hurt and leave you bruised
'Cause I'm bad news

[Verse 3]
Now I'm traveling down a route I'm bound to lose
Sufferin' from the complications of bein' a fool
And I'd be flattered to help you out and help you through
All the trials and tribulations that the world's gave to you
But I'll have to admit and come to choose
Myself over all of your problems, it's what I tend to do
'Cause' I'm bad news

[Chorus]
So it's time to say, "So long"
'Cause I tore you down and led you on
And you can't say I didn't warn you
I was made for moving along
It ain't best for me, but it's best for you
But I gotta get goin' soon
'Cause it's what men like me all do
'Cause I'm bad news

[Outro]
Yeah, I'm bad news
