Bad News

Her skirt goes down to her elbows

Her shoes are sharper than nails

With legs so long they never seem to stop

When she walks she steals the wind from your sails

Her eyes are holdin’ secrets that are rarely told

Her voice full of promises made

Her hands possess the power over hot and cold

Her lips so full they drive you insane

I’d do anything for her favors

Even walk a hundred miles through the fire

And she soon became my only desire

Don’t you know that she’s bad news

Lookin’ for someplace to happen

And after she’s had you

All that’s left is an empty shell

Don’t you know that she’s bad news

Her beauty’s just the bait for the trappin’

And after she’s had you, hell is just a place

If I ever see that face it would be

A hundred years too soon

You may just want to take a chance and let it fly

You say, “No one in the world is that mean.”

So, take it fast, make it last ‘cause by and by

She’ll turn you inside out and strip you clean

So, take it from one with burnt fingers

I was sure I could hit and run

But, she turned me over just for fun

(Repeat chorus)

(Bridge)

I can’t remember just how it started

I lost my place and I fell behind

The next thing I new I was broken hearted

All the time seemed to fly, I knew that I

Was beginning to lose my mind

I’ve looked in the eyes of the devil

Stood in line for the seat by the fire

When she fanned the flames of pure desire

(Repeat chorus)
