Original Bad Boy

Maybe you’ll find me maybe you won’t

Maybe you want to but maybe you don’t

In the back of the classroom or out in the street

Pacing the aisles or walking the beat

What a waste of energy

But I can’t say I regretted it

I pushed them away I retreated within

Got some time alone but that wore thin

I’ve got to be honest I don’t like suffering fools

The original bad boy breaking all the rules

But I can’t say I regretted it

When he door slams shut you can’t open it

Suffer the future or stutter the past

Making concessions and making them last

Pushing the buttons and counting the stars

Buying into the dream and playing a part

I had the chance and I wasted it

But I can’t say I regretted it

You can’t save your love for eternity

Sooner or later you’re going to get sloppy

Most of us are harmless enough

I pushed them away I retreated within

Got some time alone but that wore thin
