Text: The Coral. Bad Man.

There?s a bad man that I once knew
His heart was black and his blood was blue
Bad man, he?s commin? for you
He?d sell his wife for a dollar or two
To be a rich man with many maids
He?s got eyes like hand grenades
He had a good woman
In the palm of his hand
Until she left him for another man

Now he?s a bad, bad man
A bad, bad man
You gotta? do what you can
When you?re a bad man

(Everyone gotta? be a bad man every once in a while, the lord knows he?s a bad man )

He?s a bad man and that?s the truth
The devil?s law don?t need no proof
He?s a jealous man .All alone
A motel room is not a home
Helpless man, he fell ill
He was prescribed a fatal pill
Now he?s a dead man
His heart?s still black
His only love stabbed him in the back

Now he?s a bad, bad man
A bad, bad man
You gotta? do what you can
When you?re a bad man

Now he?s a bad, bad man
A bad, bad man
You gotta? do what you can

Cos you're a bad bad man
You're a bad bad man
You're a bad bad man
You got to do what you can
When you're a bad man
