The Bad Thing Lyrics

The Bad Thing lyrics

Do the bad thing

Take off your wedding ring

But it won't make it that much easier

It might make it worse



Oh the night's like a whirlwind

Somebody's girlfriend's talkin' to me but its alright

She's sayin' that he's not gonna slap me or try to attack me

He's not the jealous type



And I only need to get half an excuse and I'm away

But when there's no excuses that's much easier to say

I've been before and all these capers makers too good for her to ignore

Well she's talkin' but I'm not entirely sure



Do the bad thing

Take off your wedding ring

But it won't make it that much easier

It might make it worse



Oh I'm stood at the bar and somebody's partner's talkin' to me

But I don't know that is what she isn't

She murmurs things to confirm that the tragedy is true

And I knew how could she not she could have anyone she wants

And I'm strugglin' to think of an immediate response, like,



"I don't mind

Be a big mistake for you to wait

And let me waste your time

Really love it's fine

Said, really love it's fine"



And then the first time it occurred that there was something to destroy

I knew before the invitation that there was this ploy

Oh but she carried on suggestin', I struggled to refuse,

She said "It's the red wine this time, but that is no excuse"
