Bad Times

Mother left me home
She said to keep it clean
So I went outside and soaked it in Kerosene
My doctor said everything was bad for my health
But when I asked what's good, she said
"You can find out for yourself!"
Every time I feel that I
(Bad luck)
End up on the wrong side I
(Bad luck)
Yesterday was tough
I was having some bad times
Love will pick me up
Again
I was ready to go out
And throw caution to the wall
Fresh pack of razors, too
Yeah but out of Barbasol
An old lover found me at the grocery store
Was a friendly conversation
Until she slammed my face on that floor
Every time I feel that I
(Bad luck)
End up on the wrong side I
(Bad luck)
Yesterday was tough
I was having some bad times
Love will pick me up
Again
Still I get a feelin' though
I'm never one of those I'd hope
Cause nobody will get too close
Never one of those I'd hope
Every time I feel that I
(Bad luck)
End up on the wrong side I
(Bad luck)
Yesterday was tough
I was having some bad times
Love will pick me up
Again
