I'm starting to see there are pieces of me
That don't quite work, they exist just to hurt
I am needing to learn but only I can teach me
Things will always work out you just have to believe
Don't get hurt 'cause I'm a bad lover, a bad lover
Don't get hurt 'cause I'm a bad lover, a bad lover
Reasons untold why I've acted bold
'Cause there is history I hide to help keep me whole
Pain I've pushed aside, lord knows I've not lied
But I don't keep no secrets
I just keep what is better off mine
Don't get hurt 'cause I'm a bad lover, a bad lover
Don't get hurt 'cause I'm a bad lover, a bad lover
I'm asking for freedom not asking for time
Don't be cruel you know we're selfish sometimes
You can't make a mortal choose between love and love
Resentment is sure when your passion is lost
Don't get hurt 'cause I'm a bad lover, a bad lover
Don't get hurt 'cause I'm a bad lover, a bad lover
