lyrics

BREAKIN' OUT THE BAD MAN

Raise your hand,
block out my sun
Cut me loose now
or give me the gun

Turn it around
I prayed for you from the start
Ooohhh you look so good
Left me down in the park

Thought you’d covered up
what wouldn’t be found
I’m breakin’ out the Bad Man

Did you get your kicks
playin’ around on me
I see you’re pissed
I know your tricks
and I won’t breakdown

Hiding in lies in lines,
but truth penetrates
“The love of my life” he says
to put up the stakes

Thought you’d covered up
what couldn’t be found
Now I’m breakin’ out the Bad Man

Didn’t hurt that much (I’m sorry, I love you)
Maybe I’m sensitive (I’m sorry, I love you)
Maybe I talk too much (I’m sorry, I love you)
I’ll be more attractive (I’m sorry, I love you)

I really used to love you but you never gave a fuck about me
(This will never happen again)

Explanation,
a root for a cause
Absolution
with my back to the wall

Disengagement
before it’s too late
Bona fide position
with promise of fame

Thought you’d covered up
what wouldn’t be found
I’m breakin’ out the Bad Man

Used up all your luck,
now you’re talk of this town
I’m breakin’ out this bad, Bad Man

Bad Man
I’ll break you
(yeah, I’ll break you)
Bad Bad Man
