[Verse 1]
Yeah, as a kid I was a fighter
My brother said he was ashamed
[I'd say you're messin' up my?] red head
The other kids called me a name
Yeah, the other kids, they used to call me bad penny

I guess I've always been the black sheep
[I'd run you?] any other way
[Daddy I'm tryna tie my?] nosebleed
I'm headed to an early grave
Any way you look at it, I'm just a bad penny

[Chorus]
Tell me what I am, what I am
I'm ready, here I am, here I am
Can't change me, who I am, who I am
Bad penny, bad penny
Bad penny, bad penny

[Verse 2]
Yeah, as a kid I was a loner
Guess I ain't ever gonna change
I'm still a weirdo and a [goner?]
I'm goin' to always be the same
Hey there, look at me, I'll always be a bad penny

[Chorus]
Tell me what I am, what I am
I'm ready, here I am, here I am
Can't change me, who I am, who I am
Bad penny

[Chorus]
Tell me what I am, what I am
I'm ready, here I am, here I am
Can't change me, who I am, who I am
Bad penny
