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 mama coming" And you'd hide the phone underneath the sheets And I'd hear her say, "Girl, haven't I told you? Yeah, I know who you're talking to 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 Well, you weren't scared, but you had every reason Me and my boys were nothing 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 is the one I love You ain't so bad boy No, you ain't so bad ♪ Ain't so bad ♪ Well, I remember sitting down beside your mama My hands shaking in my pocket with that ring She says, "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 No, you ain't so bad, boy"
