Bad Boy Lyrics by The Holy Modal Rounders

I Make a Wish for a Potato

0

Mommy doesn't like him
Because he's got long hair
Daddy doesn't like him
He says he heard him swear
He's a bad boy
But I don't care
He knows illegal people
He does illegal things
He doesn't seem illegal
When he plays guitar and sings
He's a bad boy
But I don't care
Doesn't it kind of break your heart?
Doesn't it make you sad?
When the boy you love so dear
Turns out to be so bad
He's a bad boy
But I don't care
Don't ever let a bad boy
Steal your heart away
He'll never give it back again
Till your dyin' day
He's a bad boy
But I don't care
He'll sell your heart on St. Mark's Place
In glassine envelopes
He'll cut it with a baby's heart
And burn the chumps and dopes
He's a bad boy
But I don't care
Doesn't it kind of break your heart?
Doesn't it make you sad?
When the boy you love so dear
Turns out to be so bad
He's a bad boy
But I don't care
He's awfulness incarnate
He's wickedness on wheels
He'll ruin my reputation
How wonderful it feels
He's a bad boy
But I don't care
He's Sodom and Gomorrah
And Cairo, Illinois
He makes it seem boring
Going out with other boys
He's a bad boy
But I don't care
Doesn't it kind of break your heart?
Doesn't it make you sad?
When the boy you love so dear
Turns out to be so bad
He's a bad boy
But I don't care
My life is so exciting
Since I'm goin' out with him
Romance is more romantic
When you know that it's a sin
He's a bad boy
But I don't care
Doesn't it kind of break your heart?
Doesn't it make you sad?
When the boy you love so dear
Turns out to be so bad
He's a bad boy
But I don't care
No, no, I don't care
No, no, I don't care
No, no, I don't care
No, no
