[Verse 1: Jake] I'm gonna get you a big balloon A box of chocolates and some cheap perfume Happy Valentine's Day to you Hope it's better than mine 'Cause my dog's about to die, yeah Got her back when I was 15 My parents split up so they gave her to me My consolation prize, a real dream (Dream, dream) But she always liked my momma better [Chorus: Jake] 'Cause I don't even care what my best friends are doing I'm in bed with the devil and I kinda need a drink Let's take a shot of holy water, lay it all to waste I'm a bad dream, baby and I'll never go away I'm a bad dream, baby and I'll never go away (Oh!) [Verse 2: Jake, with Nathan] I'm worried about Britney Spears It's pretty fucked up how her dad runs her life I wish my dad was more involved in mine But not like that, really not like that, yeah My girlfriend's at Coco's house She's basically the nicest person Really wish I could be like that But I'm not like that, really not like that [Chorus: Jake & Nathan] I don't even care what my best friends are doing I'm in bed with the devil and I kinda need a drink Let's take a shot of holy water, lay it all to waste I'm a bad dream, baby and I'll never go away I'm a bad dream, baby and I'll never go away [Bridge: All] I just smoked a whole pack of Parliaments I wanna go back to partying Even though I'm old Remember hangin' out at Grumpy's? Chillin' with some dudes in their forties They always had my back But never had their own [Pre-Chorus: Jake] Kinda wonder what they're doing now If they had dogs and they had to put 'em down Hope my girl's somewhere barkin' in the clouds With her dead pet friends Where their love don't end [Chorus: Jake & Nathan] I don't even care what my best friends are doing I'm in bed with the devil and I kinda need a drink Let's take a shot of holy water, lay it all to waste I'm a bad dream, baby and I'll never go away I'm a bad dream, baby and I'll never go away
