Bad Contract

Check it out, read about it, heard about it, now it's me

I shoulda seen it comin', would have stayed free

Big fancy wedding for her friend's jealousy

The house was mine, now she got the key

I signed a bad contract, Lord

I signed a bad contract, yeah

Sign on the line, you only get half back

I signed a bad contract, Lord

"Take what you came with," that's what I say

But the judge didn't see it that way

They say every dog has got its day

Well, the dog had to go, y'all, with half my pay

I signed a bad contract, Lord

I signed a bad contract, Lord

Sign on the line, you only get half back

'Cause I signed a bad contract, Lord

Not about cheatin', I'm tired of the strife

When a woman you love will ruin your life

The mask fell off, that used to be my wife

Now she's stabbin' me in the back with a lawyer's knife

I signed a bad contract, Lord

I signed a bad contract, nah

Sign on the line, you only get half back

I signed a bad contract, y'all

Love don't need a law, so why do we need a witness?

To see us sign a paper, 'cause, yes, it's a business

The contract I signed was written with a slickness

My lawyer looked at me and said, "Settle with a quickness"

I signed a bad contract, y'all

I signed a bad contract, nah

Sign on the line, you only get half back

I signed a bad contract, oh no
