Bad Things

You know, I was standin' by the river, watching my bridge burn down

I was standin' by the river, watching my bridge burn down

'Cause I've done a bad thing and I'm paying for it all right now

Oh, I've done a bad thing and I'm paying for it all right now, mm-hmm

Hey there, doctor, tell me what do you see

'Cause I got a bad disease, I'm in need of your remedy

And I've been aching from my head to my toes

Well, I've been aching so much that I just don't ache no more

But there is a one thing that I need you to see

And you ain't never met a man as sick as me

Hey, mister bartender, you see my trembling hands

Oh, you know I need a drink and I need it so bad

'Cause I dont know, Lordy, what I just done

But you got me burning like a foxchild rebel under the sun

Now I'm shaking from all my misery

'Cause you ain't never met a man as wrong as me

And I know, know, know, I don't lie

'Cause I was taken over by the devil last night

And I know, know, know, when he come around

Well, I've done a bad thing and I'm paying for it all right now

Hey, mister Judge, you go and lock me up

'Cause I've been thinking things that I've should not thinkin' of

Go and hide all your brothers, go and hide the knife

'Cause you got me creepin' though the dark in the middle of the lonely night

You better lock your door and throw away the key

'Cause you ain't never met a men as guilty as me

And I know, know, know, I don't lie

Because I was taken over by the devil last night, whoa-oh-oh

And I know, know, know when he come around

Well, I've done a bad thing and I'm paying for 'em all right now

And I know, know, know, I don't lie

'Cause I was taken over by the devil last night, whoa-oh-oh

And I know, know, know, when he come around

Well, I've done a bad thing and I'm paying for 'em all right now

Yeah, I've done a bad thing and I'm paying for it all right now

Oh well, I've done a bad thing and I'm paying for it all right now
