I've Been a Bad, Bad Boy Lyrics

Hey little girl
I'm in a whirl
I've been a bad, bad boy
I'm on my knees
Forgive me please
I've been a bad, bad boy
I'm not the man you think I am
I've given you warning
You wake up and find me gone
Some sunny morning

Thinks that I've said
Run through my head
I've been a bad, bad boy
My past is black
I'm coming back
I've been a bad, bad boy
In my time I've done a lot of things
I better not remember
But you'll see such a change in me
I'm making you forget your resolution
To run it out from this confusion
You got to face it I'm a loser
I'm just a clown when I'm down

And while you sleep
I softly weep
I've been a bad, bad boy
Here comes the night
We'll be all right
I've been a bad, bad boy
Just hold my hand I'll take you where the sun and moon are always shining
One fine day you're gonna turn to me and see a silver lightning
Yeah
I've been a bad, bad boy
I've been a bad, bad boy

I've Been a Bad, Bad Boy [*]

Tell It Like It Is

Poor Jenny

Hey little girl
      I'm in a whirl
      I've been a bad, bad boy
      I'm on my knees
      Forgive me please
      I've been a bad, bad boy
      I'm not the man you think I am
      I've given you warning
      You wake up and find me gone
      Some sunny morning

Thinks that I've said
      Run through my head
      I've been a bad, bad boy
      My past is black
      I'm coming back
      I've been a bad, bad boy
      In my time I've done a lot of things
      I better not remember
      But you'll see such a change in me
      I'm making you forget your resolution
      To run it out from this confusion
      You got to face it I'm a loser
      I'm just a clown when I'm down

And while you sleep
      I softly weep
      I've been a bad, bad boy
      Here comes the night
      We'll be all right
      I've been a bad, bad boy
      Just hold my hand I'll take you where the sun and moon are always shining
      One fine day you're gonna turn to me and see a silver lightning
      Yeah
      I've been a bad, bad boy
      I've been a bad, bad boy

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I have loved this song since it came out but thought I would try to learn to play it on guitar recently and now love it even more! I guess the lyrics are straightforward..... I find it very moving as it depicts a strong love between a couple. 'I'll take you where the sun and moon are always shining.' But on the other hand there is "....... I'm not the man you think I am, I give you warning - you'll wake up and find me gone some sunny morning'."
