Bad Self Lyrics by Dua Lipa

0

[Verse 1]
Thought I knew myself better
I've never been one to chase at all
You must be pretty clever
To pull me in so I could fall

[Pre-Chorus]
No, I've never been afraid of something real
But with you I get something I never feel
And I know it's not a game that I should play
I should run away, away
You got me nervous for the very first time
First time, say yeah yeah yeah
You were trouble from the very first time
First time, say yeah yeah

[Chorus]
Baby go on with your bad self
I don't understand what you're doing to me
Baby go on with your bad self
Don't want you to stay
But I don't think you should leave
I'm going crazy and I need help
I don't understand what you're doing to me
Baby go on with your bad self
Don't want you to stay
But I don't think you should leave
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Verse 2]
Caught up in all your madness
Baby, this could go either way
It could be pain or tragic
But I'm too in to walk away

[Pre-Chorus]
No, I've never been afraid of something real
But with you I get something I never feel
And I know it's not a game that I should play
I should run away, away
You got me nervous for the very first time
First time, say yeah yeah yeah
You were trouble from the very first time
First time, say yeah yeah

[Chorus]
Baby go on with your bad self
I don't understand what you're doing to me
Baby go on with your bad self
Don't want you to stay
But I don't think you should leave
I'm going crazy and I need help
I don't understand what you're doing to me
Baby go on with your bad self
Don't want you to stay
But I don't think you should leave
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Bridge]
If I open up, and I call your bluff
Would you show me love
Or would you walk away?
I should go now or maybe slow down
But I don't know how
I'm gonna never walk away

[Chorus]
Baby go on with your bad self
I don't understand what you're doing to me
Baby go on with your bad self
Don't want you to stay
But I don't think you should leave
I'm going crazy and I need help
I don't understand what you're doing to me
Baby go on with your bad self
Don't want you to stay
But I don't think you should leave
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
