Lyrics
MY BAD
(1st Verse)
When you said, ya loved me baby
I paid no mind, thought I wasn't ready, steady, was not for me
And when I had you all to myself
Didn't think you'd fall, boy, for no one else now, ya found a girl like me
(1st Prechorus)
Now I wish that I was singing a different song
Not "You Don't Know What You've Got Till It's Gone"
But all that time that you were waitin' I was biggin' it up
Wasn't thinking of you, or the way that you felt
And now that you're not here, I'm going outta my head
Though I pretend it's all good, wish I was with you instead
Even if you don't wanna get back with me
From the bottom of my heart, here's my apology, it's my bad
(CHORUS)
It's my bad, didn't see what I had
Took too long, shouldn't of done you wrong
And it's my bad, I'm sad
It's my bad, didn't see what I had
Took too long, shouldn't of led you on
And It's my bad, my bad
(2nd Verse)
When I see ya hanging with her
I can't believe you were once my baby, maybe again I'll be
Don't know why I acted that way
I had something so good, threw it all away, and baby, I'm so sorry
(2nd Prechorus)
Thinking back to the incredible times we had
Realize how good ya treated me, now it's my bad
Had ya always waiting round, even stood you up
Now it's all coming right back to me, sho' nuff
Maybe some day, we can turn back time
Take it back to the days when your love was all mine
But no matter what happens, hope we'll always be friends
Cause I love ya so much, till the end
(CHORUS)
It's my bad, my bad
My bad, my bad (repeat)
(CHORUS)
(BRIDGE)
Shoulda told you that I want you, when I had you
Now it's my bad, baby
Shoulda told you that I loved you, now I lost you
And it's my bad, baby
(CHORUS)
(BRIDGE)
It's my bad, my bad
My bad, my bad (repeat)
