[Verse 1]
Hey there darling with that smile on your face
Wanna see me fall from my pretty hill of grace
I cross my heart, say a prayer, and knock on wood

[Refrain]
Oh, I could have had it bad for you
And that's not good

[Verse 2]
Hey there baby, there once was a time
You could've rolled me like tobacco
Could've spilled me like wine
Across the lips, across the fingers
Across the skin of your neighborhood

[Refrain]
I could have had it bad for you
And that's not good

[Chorus]
You can sing for your supper
For the roof over your head
For Mohammed, Buddha, Jesus
For the living and the dead
For the words you lock in silence you wished that you had said
Or you can sing to fill the emptiness that's banging 'round your head
[Verse 3]
It's just your bed looks so pretty, I wanted to be there waking up
With your sugar, milk and coffee in my lonely cup
All right, all right
It's understood

[Refrain]
Oh, I could have had it bad for you
And that's not good

[Outro]
I could have had it bad for you
I could have had it bad for you
I could have had it bad for you
And that's not good
