Arctic Monkeys - The Bad Thing

 ★ 



Do the bad thing

Take off your wedding ring

But it won't make it that much easier

It might make it worse



The night's like a whirlwind

Somebody's girlfriend is talking to me

But it's alright, she's saying

That he's not gonna slap me

Or try to attack me

He's not the jealous type

And I only need to get half an excuse and I'm away

But when there's no excuses

that's much easier to say

I've been before

And all these capers makers to the floor

Then to ignore

She's talking but I'm not entirely sure



Do the bad thing

Take off your wedding ring

But it won't make it that much easier

It might make it worse



Oh im stood at the bar

Somebody's partner is talking to me

But I don't that is what she isn't

She murmurs things to confirm the tragedy is true

And I knew how could she not

she could have anyone she wants

And I'm struggling to think of an immediate response

Like I don't mind

Be a big mistake for you to wait

And help me waste your time

Really, love, it's fine

Really, love, it's fine



And the first time,

it occurred that there was something to destroy

I knew before the invitation that there was this ploy

Oh, but she carried on suggesting,

I struggled to refuse

She said "It's the red wine this time",

but that is no excuse.
