When We Had It Bad

I liked it better when we had it bad
I liked it better when we had it bad
And every time we were apart
I liked it better when we had it bad
We were so in love it almost hurt
While I'm starin' at the wall

Now that ain't the way things are
Now that ain't the way things are
When you took my breath away
Remember when we said it never would
There was an achin' in our hearts
There was an achin' in our hearts
When a burnin' love was all we had, had
And it's so sad

And every time we were apart
Why the passion has to fade?
I liked it better when we had it bad
When a burnin' love was all we had

Now that ain't the way things are
I liked it better when we had it bad
And every time we were apart
Now, you're starin' at the TV
There was an achin' in our hearts
'Cause it ain't too late, for us to feel that good
When a burnin' love was all we had
And I'm hurtin' now, for the way we were
I don't know how it happens
Oh, won't you hold me like you used to
I liked it better when we had it bad
And it's so sad, hey
And it's so sad
