Aimee Mann Real Bad News Lyrics

Real Bad News Lyrics

You don't know, so don't say you do --
You don't.
You might think that
things will change,
But take my word --
They won't
You paint a lovely
picture,
But reality intrudes
With a message for you
And it's real bad
news

I was undecided like you
At first
But I could not stem the
tide of overwhelm
And thirst
You try to keep it going, but a lot of
avenues
Just aren't open to you
when you're real bad news

I've got
love and anger
They come as a pair
You can take your chances
But buyer
beware
And I won't
Make you feel bad
When I show you
This big ball
of sad isn't
Worth even filling with air

And baby, let me tell
you
You can get some things confused
Like whose secrets are whose
And
that's real bad news
Real bad news
Real bad news
