Used To Be Bad

(album: Flaming Pie - 1997)

[Paul McCartney:]
One, two, three!

[Steve Miller (Paul McCartney):]
I used to be bad, but I don't have to be bad no more
(Yeah, I used to be bad, but I don't have to be bad no more)
There ain't no doubt about it
People, it's something you can't ignore

(Well, I ain't good looking)
(People, you know I've been up on a shelf)
Yes, I know I ain't good looking, and I've been put up on the shelf
(But I got a sweet disposition, I like to enjoy myself)

I used to be bad, but I don't have to be bad no more
(Yeah, I used to be bad, but I don't have to be bad no more)
You know I learned my lesson a long, long time ago

(Well, no matter what you say, no matter what you do)
You got one life to live, it's gonna come back home to you
(I used to be bad, but I don't have to be bad no more)
Yeah, people, I learned my lesson a long, long time ago
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

The good Lord made this world and everything that's in it
(Well, the way I see it, baby you got to love it to the limit)
Oh yes, now people, it's something you can't ignore, yeah
(Yes, I used to be bad, but I ain't gonna be bad no more)

(Well, the way you treat me darling made me understand)
Never quit you baby, I'm gonna love you to the end
(Yeah, I used to be bad, but I ain't gonna be bad no more)
No more
Yes, I learned my lesson a long, long time ago

(Yes, I learned my lesson a long, long time ago)
Yes, I learned my lesson
You're gonna reap just what you sow
