Bad News To Fall In Love (With A Mean Motherfucker)

(Album: Paradise In Distress - 1999)

Don't try to put the blame on me
Every night I come stealing home
You keep thinking I've been drinking
I've been missing you, no, no

Damn sheriff ain't no friend of mine
Hand-coffing my good times
Got no pity, show no mercy
Sure makes me think of you

He's so uptight
Downtown, can't get enough
Of the way I pay for love
Cause I'm ready, I got plenty
Who's complaining when there's no more than enough

A deck of cards and a pair of dice
Make me feel twice as nice
The wheel's spinning
And I'm winning
'til I walk through the door
Like I said before:

It's bad news to fall in love [3x]
With a mean motherfucker

Half dead 'til the afternoon
Wake up feeling cruel
You don't get it, I just said it
Pour the booze and fetch my silver spoon
Don't mind being critical
This love thing's pitiful
Why don't you let it
Fade and forget it
I'm bad news for a girl like you
And I'm warning you

It's bad news to fall in love [3x]
With a mean motherfucker
