Making an excuse for another hard lesson

Moving through the city, never looking at the pavement

Red-line time warp speeding down the wrong track

Waiting for you baby to come-a-come-a call back

Corner store coffee in a can in my backpack

Tastes like a bad day, I don’t know that

Walking like I got a real job to get done

I’m just fast pace living in a dream to run

If I say I’m bad, baby it’s true. The only time I’ll tell you the truth.  

Renaissance man, I’m the jack of all you hate

You know it gets me goin’ when you call me a mistake

Just cuz you said it first doesn’t mean you wouldn’t leave

If I said bye, bet you’d cry and come-a-come to me

Fix me up baby, oh tell me I’m the worst

That you had, I’m like your dad so tell me where it hurts

Slicking my bangs back thinking ‘bout god

And that bend in your brow when I’m getting you off

If I say I’m bad, baby it’s true. The only time I’ll tell you the truth.

Instrumental 

Barefoot on the floor with the friend I’d leave you for

Calls me when she’s lonely but I swear it’s nothing more

Kissed me on the neck, called me such a mess

She loves our little secret, she’s worse than me I guess

Buzzing to the show got her big words in my mouth

Put in yours cuz I’m bored, just flames for putting out

I have so much to say cuz I ain’t got much to do

Too busy thinking ‘bout myself to ever think of you

If I say I’m bad, baby it’s true. The only time I’ll tell you the truth.
