​bad ones Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You say that you've been missing me
Every single time we're not together
And I know that I've been gone from everything
But I needed that
Say you wish that you were kissing me
It comes out of nowhere, whenever
But I'm kinda sick and tired, you're so selfish
Say that I'm not coming back to you


[Pre-Chorus]
But wait, don't leave
Hate that it's so easy for you
Wait, I can't see
Try to walk away

[Chorus]
I keep fallin' for the bad ones (Bad ones)
The always make me sad ones (Sad ones)
Tryin' hard to hold my ground
But it always ties me down
Yeah, the bad ones
Way too good at fallin' for the bad ones


[Verse 2]
You're really good at tricking me
Makin' me believe I'm not enough
And I'm always so confident
'Til you come and trip me up
Why you so caught up with fixing me?
You know that's something that I really hate
You're the only thing about me that should change
You're my one mistake, hmm
[Pre-Chorus]
But wait, don't leave
Hate that it's so easy for you
Wait, I can't see
Try to walk away

[Chorus]
I keep fallin' for the bad ones (Bad ones)
The always make me sad ones (Sad ones)
Tryin' hard to hold my ground
But it always ties me down
Yeah, the bad ones
Way too good at fallin' for the bad ones
Way too good at fallin' for the bad ones

[Pre-Chorus]
But wait, don't leave
Hate that it's so easy for you
Wait, I can't see
Try to walk away
(Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad)

[Chorus]
Tryin' hard to hold my ground
But it always ties me down
Yeah, the bad ones
Way too good at fallin' for the bad ones
Way too good at fallin' for the bad ones

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 [?]

Genius Annotation

Tate first debuted this piece on her YouTube Live on September 17, 2020, titled singing some unreleased songs for u guys

There’s this one song that I’m actually really excited about and I really hope I release it. ‘Cause, I have a lot of songs that I like, work on and I don’t release, and I’ve had this in my back pocket for a while.

At the time, neither Tate, nor her fans knew that she would be including this song as the second track on her upcoming EP, that is now professionally released and titled TOO YOUNG TO BE SAD. This piece will be featured on the album alongside her hit single you broke me first which got McRae her first entry into the Billboard Hot 100.
