Bad News
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.
They've been sayin' our love's losin' ground
Why can't they just mind their own business?
I been hearin' so much talk goin' 'round
It just might be my time to be leavin'
Why can't they just leave us be?
I know that you still love me
'cause if you been doin' me bad
You sure been hidin' it good
And if you must slip around
Keep keepin' your profile down
And lie to me baby
'cause I can't take bad news
If it's a secret
I'll try to keep it
Gonna let the truth lie just where it will
And if it's a lie I'll understand it
But it just might be I've had my fill
She said "Baby, call me when you're back on a roll"
Lie to me baby
Lie to me lover now
I can't take bad news
