If You're Gonna Be Bad (Be Good At It) (from "The Hits" compilation)

If you're gonna be bad be good at it
Be good if you're gonna be bad (hey!)

Oh, I went walking just the other night
Working out my wrongs from rights
Going nowhere
And getting slower
I headed for the neon lights
I always thought to be a man
You do good the best you can
Now I'm older
And I've been walked of over
Time for a change of plan

If you're gonna be bad be good at it
Be good at it, be good at it
If you're gonna be bad be good at it
Be good if you're gonna be bad
You gotta live on the edge just a little bit
A little bit, just a little bit
You gotta live on the edge just a little bit
Be good if you're gonna be bad (oh, yeah!)

A whiskey shot and four beers down
Things start to turn around
I'm playing nice
All my life
Time just to stand my ground
Sometimes ya know it's okay
To not care what people say
If you cross that line
Just keep in mind
You gotta take it all the way

If you're gonna be bad be good at it
Be good at it, be good at it
If you're gonna be bad be good at it
Be good if you're gonna be bad
You gotta live on the edge just a little bit
A little bit, just a little bit
You gotta live on the edge just a little bit
Be good if you're gonna be bad (oh, yeah!)

Yeah, if you're gonna be bad be good at it
Be good at it, be good at it
If you're gonna be bad be good at it
Be good if you're gonna be bad

If you're gonna be bad be good at it
Be good at it, be good at it
If you're gonna be bad be good at it
Be good if you're gonna be bad
You gotta live on the edge just a little bit
A little bit, just a little bit
You gotta live on the edge just a little bit
Be good if you're gonna be bad (that's right)

If you're gonna be bad be good
Be good if you're gonna be bad
