Bad News

Boss called me in and said today
«Nobody wants to pay to see your breasts
And all these stories of hittin' things
And fallin' down don’t seem like accidents»
just doesn’t mix with customers lookin' for kicks
I left there with a high heel in each hand
I knew you were bad news
By the way you hesitated
When you said, «I do»
But now I’ve got nothing to lose
So I’m takin' the baby
Gonna drive far from you
Turned the lock and shut my eyes
And there you were, passed out on the floor
You never were so peaceful as whn you drank
And then you drank some more
Sh’ll never have the photos of these early years
But then, what of? I grabbed her
And ran right out the door!
I knew you were bad news
By the way you hesitated
When you said, «I do»
But now I’ve got nothing to lose
So I’m takin' the baby
Gonna drive far from you
I tried everything to make it okay
Guess I’ll tell it to the dishes that you throw my way
I tried anything to make it alright
But you leave me black and blue by the end of the night
I’ll never let her be daddy’s girl
No, I’ll never let her be daddy’s girl!
I knew you were!
I knew you were bad news
By the way you hesitated
When you said, «I do»
«I do…»
