Yeah, I used to be bad but I don't have to be bad no more
Well ain't no doubt about it, people it's something you can't ignore
You know I learned my lesson a long, long time ago
I used to be bad but I don't have to be bad no more
Well, I ain't good looking people, you know I've been up on a shelf
I used to be bad but I don't have to be bad no more
Yeah, I used to be bad but I ain't gonna be bad no more
Yes, I learned my lesson a long, long time ago
Yes, I learned my lesson a long, long time ago
The way I see it, baby you got to love it to the limit
Well, no matter what you say no matter what you do
The good Lord made this world and everything that's in it
Never quit you baby I'm gonna love you to the end
You got one life to live it's gonna come back home to you
Yes, I know I ain't good looking and I've been put up on the shelf
But I got a sweet disposition I like to enjoy myself
Oh yes, now people it's something you can't ignore
Yes I used to be bad but I ain't gonna be bad no more
You know I learned my lesson a long, long time ago
Well, the way you treat me darling made me understand
