A song about the reconciliation of a dingy man, “Used to Be Bad” gives of a bluesy vibe that fits the mood of the lyrics. The “bad boy”, turned faithful and world-loving.
[Intro: Paul McCartney]
One, two, three!
[Verse 1: Steve Miller, Paul McCartney]
I used to be bad, but I don't have to be bad no more
Yeah, I used to be bad, but I don't have to be bad no more
There ain't no doubt about it
People, it's something you can't ignore
[Verse 2: Paul, Steve]
Well, I ain't good looking
People, you know I've been up on a shelf
Yes, I know I ain't good looking, and I've been put up on the shelf
But I got a sweet disposition, I like to enjoy myself
[Verse 3: Steve, Paul]
I used to be bad, but I don't have to be bad no more
Yeah, I used to be bad, but I don't have to be bad no more
You know I learned my lesson a long, long time ago
[Verse 4: Paul, Steve]
Well, no matter what you say, no matter what you do
You got one life to live, it's going to come back home to you
I used to be bad, but I don't have to be bad no more
Yeah, people, I learned my lesson a long, long time ago
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 5: Steve, Paul]
The good Lord made this world and everything that's in it
Well, the way I see it, baby you got to love it to the limit
Oh yes, now people, it's something you can't ignore, yeah
Yes, I used to be bad, but I ain't going to be bad no more
[Verse 6: Paul, Steve]
Well, the way you treat me darling made me understand
Never quit you baby, I'm gonna love you to the end
Yeah, I used to be bad, but I ain't going to be bad no more (no more)
Yes, I learned my lesson a long, long time ago
[Outro: Paul, Steve]
Yes, I learned my lesson a long, long time ago
Yes, I learned my lesson
You're going to reap just what you sow
