Lyrics
You ever love someone so much
You thought your little heart was gonna break in two?
(I didn't think so)
You ever tried with all your heart and soul
To get your lover back to you?
(I wanna hope so)
You ever pray with all your heart and soul
Just to watch him walk away?
Baby did a bad bad thing
Baby did a bad bad thing (baby did a bad thing)
Baby did a bad bad thing (baby did a bad thing)
Baby did a bad bad thing (baby did a bad thing)
Baby did a bad bad thing (baby did a bad thing)
Baby did a bad bad thing (baby did a bad thing)
And I feel like crying
I feel like crying
You ever toss and turn you're lying awake
And thinking about the one you love?
(I don't think so)
You ever close your eyes you're making believe
You're holding the one you're dreaming of?
(Well if you say so)
It hurts so bad when you finally know
Just how low, low, low, low, low, he'll go
Baby did a bad bad thing
Baby did a bad bad thing (baby did a bad bad thing)
Baby did a bad bad thing (baby did a bad bad thing)
Baby did a bad bad thing (baby did a bad bad thing)
Baby did a bad bad thing (baby did a bad bad thing)
Baby did a bad bad thing (baby did a bad bad thing)
And I feel like crying
I feel like crying
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Baby did a bad bad thing
Baby did a bad bad thing
Baby did a bad bad thing
Baby did a bad bad thing
Baby did a bad bad thing
And I feel like crying
I feel like crying
