Bye Bye Badman Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Soak me to my skin
Will you drown me in your sea?
Submission ends and I begin
Choke me, smoke the air
In this citrus sucking sunshine
I don't care, you're not all there
Every backbone and heart you break
Will still come back for more
Submission ends it all
[Chorus]
Here he comes
Got no questions, got no love
I'm throwing stones at you man
I want you black and blue and
I'm gonna make you bleed
Gonna bring you down to your knees
Bye bye, badman
Bye bye
[Verse 2]
Choke me smoke the air
In this citrus sucking sunshine
I don't care, you're not all there
You've been bought and paid
You're a whore and a slave
You're a dark star, holy shrine
Come taste the end, you're mine
[Chorus]
Here he comes
Got no questions, got no love
I'm throwing stones at you, man
I want you black and blue and
I'm gonna make you bleed
Gonna bring you down to your knees
Bye bye, badman
Bye bye
[Post-Chorus]
I've got bad intentions
I intend to knock you down
These stones I throw
Oh, these French kisses
Are the only way I've found
[Outro]
I've got bad intention
I intend to knock you down
These stones I throw
Oh, these French kisses
Are the only way I've found
