about

Alas, she does not choose her men wisely. The sheriff is a bad man and likes to use a little excessive force at home.

lyrics

I know you want a family man
but that ain’t how I get my kicks.
I’m headed out the door
to buckle down and maintain my fix
on everybody in this town that
I’ve got under my thumb.

There are times I bring a storm cloud home
at the end of the day
and I go off into a blinding rage.
It don’t matter to me who you are
or what you done.

But it’s a bad love
that makes you hurt somebody,
and he swears
(and I swear baby)
that it won’t
happen again.

To get my point across sometimes
I feel I gotta talk with my hands
and we’re going to talk until you understand,
and if you still don’t get it I can
show it to you real up close.

‘Cause every two bit bruiser knows
to measure out the pain with some praise
and try to show regret as soon as
you’ve been put in your place
and say he’s sorry just as fast
and as often as he can.

But it’s a bad love
that makes you hurt somebody,
and he swears
(yes I swear baby)
that it won’t
happen again.

But it’s a bad love
that makes you hurt somebody,
and he swears
(oh baby I swear, no)
that it won’t
happen again.
It’s a bad love.
Bad love.
Mm, bad love.
A bad love.
