There's blood in my mouth 'cause I've been biting my tongue all week
I keep on talkin' trash but I never say anything
And the talkin' leads to touchin'
And the touchin' leads to sex
And then there is no mystery left

And it's bad news
Baby, I'm bad news
I'm just bad news, bad news, bad news

I know I'm alone if I'm with or without you
But just being around you offers me another form of relief
When the loneliness leads to bad dreams
And the bad dreams lead me to callin' you
And I call you and say
"Come here!"

And it's bad news
Baby, I'm bad news
I'm just bad news, bad news, bad news
And it's bad news
Baby, it's bad news
It's just bad news, bad news, bad news

'Cause you're just damage control
For a walking corpse like me
Like you

'Cause we'll all be
Portions for foxes
Yeah, we'll all be
Portions for foxes

There's a pretty young thing in front of you
And she's real pretty and she's real into you
And then she's sleepin' inside of you
And the talkin' leads to touchin'
And the touchin' leads to sex
And then there is no mystery left

And it's bad news
I don't blame you
I do the same thing
I get lonely too
And you're bad news
My friends tell me to leave you
That you're bad news, bad news, bad news

You're bad news
Baby, you're bad news
And you're bad news
Baby, you're bad news
And you're bad news
I don't care, I like you
And you're bad news
I don't care, I like you
I like you

    I love how she says, "I like you" not "I love you". It shows how she doesnt have to be commited to a guy. Like what the idea the girl in the movie "Down with Love" was trying to get by. "Casual sex for women??!" She doesn't have to love the guy to go out with him. I love this song, because it goes with the whole feminine, yet feminist feel of the majority of her songs. Love it.

    I'm kind of upset at how much it's been used on T.V. and in movies now, though. I feel it's been stripped of it's dirty, raw, and all 'round indie feel. Not that I have anything against Lindy Lohan or Hulk Hogan, but it's disappointing.
