lyrics

I can’t drink you off my mind
And I just don’t feel like trying
And if my love is like a crime
Chain me up to do my time, I do

It might be mad, but that can’t be bad

If my eyes see only you
And if I’m stuck to you like glue
And if I can’t seem to think right
And only dream of you at night, it’s true

It might be mad, but that can’t be bad
Can’t be bad
Can’t be bad
Can’t be bad

If I need you like a drug
That thins my blood and ties my tongue
If you’re the habit I can’t quit
Then I may just as well be sick, it’s true

It might be mad, but that can’t be bad
Can’t be bad
Can’t be bad
Can’t be bad

Everybody's trying hard to make it
(bad)
Everybody's got something to say
(bad)
I came around and I got me something
(bad)
I keep it up and I'll end with nothing

So bad, so bad, so bad, so bad ...that can't be bad
So bad, so bad, so bad, so bad ...that can't be bad
