Album: The Coral (2002)





Theres a bad man that I once knew

His heart was black and his blood was blue

Bad man, hes commin for you

Hed sell his wife for a dollar or two

To be a rich man with many maids

Hes got eyes like hand grenades

He had a good woman

In the palm of his hand

Until she left him for another man



Now hes a bad, bad man

A bad, bad man

You gotta do what you can

When youre a bad man



(Everyone gotta be a bad man every once in a while, the lord knows hes a bad man )



Hes a bad man and thats the truth

The devils law dont need no proof

Hes a jealous man .All alone

A motel room is not a home

Helpless man, he fell ill

He was prescribed a fatal pill

Now hes a dead man

His hearts still black

His only love stabbed him in the back



Now hes a bad, bad man

A bad, bad man

You gotta do what you can

When youre a bad man



Now hes a bad, bad man

A bad, bad man

You gotta do what you can



Cos you're a bad bad man

You're a bad bad man

You're a bad bad man

You got to do what you can

When you're a bad man
