Bad Idea
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You, you, you
Pardon me, would you listen, please?
I'll keep this easy now, keep this tight
I'm gonna have to let you go
Cause you've been dragging like dead weight
You didn't shot me when you really should
And baby it's my turn.
I'm gonna have to cut you loose
Cause your whining it's no use
It's time to let it show
I'm gonna have to let you go
I know you get your kicks from your messy life
Don't follow me with your fuss and strife
You're just car crash waiting to happen
I'm putting on the brakes just to save myself
You're a bad idea that's born of a fashion
I'm not even gonna put you at the back of the shelf
Do ba-do do do ba-do
Keep giving me a new excuse
Do ba-do do do ba-do
I'll start giving you a real abuse
Just wanna be polite
Don't wanna start a fight
So I'm gonna say this right first time
Baby, you're bringing me down
Pressing my buttons with your big frown
The situation is over
Don't look over your shoulder
I know you get your kicks from your messy life
Don't follow me with your fuss and strife
You're just car crash waiting to happen
I'm putting on the brakes just to save myself
You're a bad idea that's born of a fashion
I'm not even gonna put you at the back of the shelf
Do ba-do do do ba-do
Keep giving me a new excuse
Do ba-do do do ba-do
I'll start giving you a real abuse
You're just car crash waiting to happen
I'm putting on the brakes just to save myself
You're a bad idea that's born of a fashion
I'm not even gonna put you at the back of the shelf
Do ba-do do do ba-do
Keep giving me a new excuse
Do ba-do do do ba-do
I'll start giving you a real abuse
You're just car crash waiting to happen
I'm putting on the brakes just to save myself
You're a bad idea that's born of a fashion
I'm not even gonna put you at the back of the shelf
Do ba-do do do ba-do
Keep giving me a new excuse
Do ba-do do do ba-do
I'll start giving you a real abuse
