It coulda been me but it was you

Who went and bit off a little bit more than he could chew

You said that you had it made, but you been had

The woman no good, no how, thinkin' maybe the blood is bad



Bad (ba-a-ad) blood (blo-o-od)

The woman was born to lie

Makes promises she can't keep

With the wink on an eye



Bad (ba-a-ad) blood (blo-o-od)

Brother, you've been deceived

It's bound to change you mind

About all you believe



From where I stand, it looks mighty strange

BRHow you let a woman like that treat you like small change

BRI don't understand what you're lookin' to find

BRThe only thing bad blood do is mess up a good man's mind

BR

BRSPOKEN: Hear me talkin' now

BR

BRBad (ba-a-ad) blood (blo-o-od)

BRThe bitch is in her smile

BRThe lie is on her lips

BRSuch an evil child

BR

BRBad (ba-a-ad) blood (blo-o-od)

BRIs takin' you for a ride

BRThe only thing good about bad blood

BRIs lettin' it slide

BR

BRDoo-ron, doo-ron, di di, dit, dit, ron-ron

BRDoo-ron, doo-ron, di di, dit, dit, ron-ron

BRDoo-ron, doo-ron, di di, dit, dit, ron-ron

BRBad blood, talkin' 'bout bad blood

BR

BRDoo-ron, doo-ron, di di, dit, dit, ron-ron

BRDoo-ron, doo-ron, di di, dit, dit, ron-ron

BRDoo-ron, doo-ron, di di, dit, dit, ron-ron

BRSPOKEN: Here we go

BR

BRBad (ba-a-ad) blood (blo-o-od)

BRThe bitch is in her smile

BRThe lie is on her lips

BRSuch an evil child

BR

BRIs takin' you for a ride

BRThe only thing good about bad blood

BRIs lettin' it slide
