| Girl, I would dial your number without lookin'
|
| And you’d always pick it up as soon as it rang
|
| And I’d hear you say, «I hear my momma comin'»
|
| And you’d hide the phone up underneath the sheets
|
| And I’d hear her say, «Girl, haven’t I told you?
|
| Yeah, I know who you’re talkin' to»
|
| «And it’s that bad boy
|
| It’s that wrong side of the tracks boy
|
| That break your heart and won’t come back boy
|
| Why’s that boy the one you love?»
|
| You’re not that bad boy
|
| You weren’t scared but you had every reason
|
| Me and my boys were nothin' short of dangerous
|
| But you said, «Boy, you know I’ve heard you talked to Jesus
|
| How’s a tough guy like you afraid to love?»
|
| «You ain’t so bad, boy
|
| You’ve done some things you can’t take back, boy
|
| But I see straight through that boy
|
| And that boy’s the one I love
|
| And you ain’t so bad boy
|
| No, you ain’t so bad
|
| Ain’t so bad»
|
| Well I remember sittin' down beside your momma
|
| My hands shakin' in my pocket with that ring
|
| She said, «Boy, I always knew you loved my daughter
|
| She loves you too and I think I know what she sees»
|
| «So alright, bad boy
|
| Long as them old habits don’t come back, boy
|
| You know that’s how she lost her dad, boy
|
| And that boy is the one I loved
|
| He was my bad boy
|
| He was my bad boy
|
| Yes, you ain’t so bad
|
| Yes, you ain’t so bad, boy» |
