Babe I got you bad
Dreaming blood-wet dreams
Only madmen have
Baby I got you bad
I wish to God I never had
And it makes me feel so sad,
O, baby I got you bad
Yeah, babe I got you bad
I long for your kiss,
For the turn of your mouth
Your body is a long thing
Heading south
And I dont know what Im talking about
All of my words have gone mad
Ah, baby I got you bad
Seasons have gone wrong
And I lay me down in a bed of snow
Darling, since youve been gone
Well my hands, they dont know where to go
And all of my teeth are bared,
I got you so much Im scared
Ah, baby I got you bad
With the sweep of my hand
I undid all the plans
That explode at the moment I kissed you
On your small hot mouth
And your caramel limbs
That are hymns to the glory that is you.
Look at me darlin its sad sad sad
Look at me darlin its sad sad sad
Baby I got you bad
Smoke bilowing from the bridges
And the rivers we swim in are boiling
My hands are reaching for you everywhere
But youre not there, or youre recoiling
And a weary moon dangles from a cloud
Oh honey, I know its not allowed
To say I got you bad.
I got you bad...
I got you bad...
I got you bad...
(repeat and fade)
