You're leavin' tongue marks on the carpet

And I know what you're lookin' at

You would walk on your lips through busted glass

If you could get next to that



You think this is love

Your education starts today

So you think this is love?

So tell me

How bad do you want it?

How bad do you want it?

How bad do you want it?

Not bad enough



So you put a hold on happiness

....a day, a week, a year

You got to bring somethin' to this party, boy

If you party here



And if you're lookin' for love

You better look some other way

If you're lookin' for love

I have to ask you

How bad do you want it?

How bad do you want it?

How bad do you want it?

Not bad enough



She gave you love and affection

Enough to weather any season

You found an excuse to walk away

But you didn't find no reason



And you talk about love

But you don't know what it means

Yeah, you talk about love

So tell me

How bad do you want it?

How bad do you want it?

How bad do you want it?

Not bad enough
