How Bad Do You Want It? Lyrics

Hey! You're leavin' tongue marks on the carpet
I know what you're lookin' at
You would walk on your lips through busted glass
If you could get next to that

You think this is love?
Your education starts today
So you think this is love?
So tell me

How bad do you want it?
How bad do you want it?
How bad do you want it?
Not bad enough

So you, you put a hold on happiness
A day, a week, a year
You got to bring somethin' to this party, boy
If you party here

And if you're lookin' for love
You better look some other way
If you're lookin' for love
I have to ask you

How bad do you want it?
How bad do you want it?
How bad do you want it?
Not bad enough
She gave you love and affection
Enough to weather any season
You found an excuse to walk away
But you didn't find no reason

And you talk about love
But you don't know what it means
Yeah, you talk about love
So tell me

How bad do you want it?
How bad do you want it?
How bad do you want it?
Not bad enough
Not bad enough

How bad?
B-b-bad enough

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
