Bad News Travels Fast

Well I got something to say girl
I hope you're listening close
'Cause here's one fish you caught that's
That's slipperier than most
Baby you're just a schoolgirl
Here's a lesson you can use
Just ask any woman
They'll tell you I'm bad news

You're not the first
You know you're not the last
Bad news travels fast
That's right baby

Now your friends they all warned you
My heart is black as coal
So if you want to ride my highway baby
Well you gotta pay the toll

You know I'm bad
Well that's where it's at
Bad news travels fast

Now don't you try to change me
I'll just string you along
Sit back and enjoy the ride
Tomorrow I'll be gone

They kicked you out of the house now
Your family life's a wreck
Your momma trying to kill me baby
Now what did you expect

You're not the first
You know you're not the last
Bad news travels fast
Oh listen up baby
(solo)

Now don't you try to change me
I'll just string you along
Sit back and enjoy the ride
Tomorrow I'll be gone

Baby you're just a schoolgirl
Here's a lesson you should learn
Well if you want my lovin' baby
Well you gotta wait your turn

You know I'm bad
Well that's where it's at
Bad news travels fast
Bad news travels fast
Bad news travels fast
Bad news travels fast
