VERSE 1
I've wasted my time
Sippin soda and lime
With the people who want my soul
Been taken to places
I've always been
Never got a good feel for rock 'n roll

Kept my head straight lady
Kept my wits about
And I know I missed a bar or two
So it feels real fine
To drop anchor and line
And so good bein bad with you
So good...

VERSE 2
Stayed close to base
An emotionless face
Always playin well within the rules
Livin out on the edge
Of insanity's ledge
Like a zillion other similar fools

Didn't give it much mind
Set my vision to blind
Doin what they said I should do
But it all changed when
You got me feelin again
Feelin good bein bad with you
So good...

BRIDGE
How do you do it
What is it that you see in me
What about my principles
How do you make me so easily...

Oh my lord
You been comin on once more
I'm gettin in too deep
And not gettin any sleep

VERSE 3
Got a sorta job
With my sorta education
I was junior sub-assistant to a bore
Workin numbers watchin graphics
Eatin yogurt sendin memos
Kinda thinkin that there had to be more

Found a mousy little lady
Who liked stock reports and toasters
Always let me know what I was gonna do
Til I groped the unpredictable
And found that I worked better
Makin good bein bad with you
So good...

VERSE 4
Now I'm miles from respectable
They shun me like a leper
But I know I show up often in their dreams
As a could be as a should be
As a man that they all would be
If they would only peel their double-knit seams

Still they may be comin round
And tunin into the sound
Of the kind of life a livin can do
But no matter what I'm goin
Down a road that I'll be knowin
Keeps me good bein bad with you
So good...

BRIDGE
How do you do it
What is it that you see in me
What about my principles
How do you make me so easily...

Oh my lord
You been comin on once more
Gettin in too deep
And not gettin any sleep
