Badboy Lyrics by Donell Jones

The Lost Files

2009

[Verse 1]
Said I'm thinking bout that day you ran up on me
How did you get fucking, took one [?]
Baby I was wrong but her body was calling me
How could I be so dumb?
Cos one woman should be enough

[Chorus]
I'm just a bad boy
Trying to be good
Trying to live right
Trying to do right by my baby
Like I know I should, girl
I'm just a bad boy
Trying to be good
From the ghetto
Trying to let go
But one thing's for sure, I love you

[Verse 2]
See I had to learn to be a man all on my own, baby
Cos all the men I knew [?]
Yeah like I appreciate how you've been down for me
I'm gonna make it up to you watch and see
It might take some time but trust me I'm gonna get it right

[Chorus]
I'm just a bad boy
Trying to be good
Trying to live right
Trying to do right by my baby
Like I know I should, girl
I'm just a bad boy
Trying to be good
From the ghetto
Trying to let go
But one thing's for sure, I love you

[Bridge]
Listen girl I know you heard it all before (I never meant to hurt you babe)
And girl please don't take it personal (I just don't know babe)
And girl I know you could've left me a long time ago
I know you're fed up with my shit and I'm sorry baby, but I

[Chorus][x3]
I'm just a bad boy
Trying to be good
Trying to live right
Trying to do right by my baby
Like I know I should, girl
I'm just a bad boy
Trying to be good
From the ghetto
Trying to let go
But one thing's for sure, I love you
