Bad For Me Lyrics
Brendan Benson

Lyrics
Benson
Well here it goes again
Another losing streak
Guess I'm on a roll
I haven't got a chance, I'm too weak
She sucks my soul
And the St. Christophers that hangs around my neck
Has got to be a fake
Cos' I crush everytime
The same old wreck
The same mistake
I'll make a mental note
So I don't forget
A little reminder of what hasn't happened yet
Maybe she's bad for me
But I don't care to see
Cos' what I want and what I need
Are the same to me
In the end
And there's a voice in my head saying no
But my mouth says yes
I should stop I know
But I really wanna go
It's ok I guess
And I played with fire so many times before
Guess I'll never learn
Just like an addict
Coming back for more
(?)
I'll make a mental note
So I don't forget
A reminder of what wasn't happened yet
Well maybe she's bad for me
But I don't care to see
Cos what I want and what I need
Are the same to me
Well maybe she's bad for me
But I don't care to see
Cos what I want and what I need
Are the same to me
And there's a feeling that I get deep in my gut
That I hang on mine
Instincts out of sync
But so what love's blind
So I'll make a mental note
So I don't forget
A little reminder of what hasn't happened yet
She's gonna be the death of me
Here it comes again
The only leaf, the only tree
Blowing in the wind
Maybe she's come back to me
And I don't care to see
Cos' what I want and what I need
Are the same to me
In The end
