Bad For Me — Vance Gilbert

You ain't a bad person you just bad for me

You ain't a bad person you just bad for me

It’s not that you’re no good

We’re just no good for each other

You ain't a bad person you just bad for me

You generally decent people

Don’t you get me wrong

But whenever we’re together

Were together too long to

Validate your sense of purpose

And your self esteem

You ain't a bad person you just bad for me

(Chorus)

A couple minutes with you

And I’m covered in dirt

I’m robbing and I'm stealing

And my feelings get hurt

Cars end up in ditches

Foreheads end up with stitches

You ain't a bad person you just bad for me

You told me date your sister

Cause she just like you

I guess you wasn’t kidding

Cause she crazy too

Don’t mean to cast aspersions

On your family tree

You ain't a bad person you just bad for me

(Bridge solo)

(Chorus solo)

Every time you show up

You disrupts my life

I’m waking up hung over

With my neighbor’s wife

Whenever you’re around me

Trouble never fails to found me

You ain't a bad person you just bad for me

You ain't a bad person you just bad for me

You ain't a bad person you just bad for me

I’m drinking and I’m smoking

Windows end up broken

I end up in Hoboken

Without a subway token

I wouldn’t be in jail

If you wasn’t so outspoken

You ain't a bad person

You just bad for me
