Good Things Happen To Bad People

Sweet thing, believe me

You'll never deceive me

You stared me down without blinking

That's when I really started thinking

You must have been running around

You must have been running around

'Cause you were smiling

Your friends say you're antsy

For something fancy

Like a caged bird that's broken free

You want to fly high and mess on me

Well I know you've got a secret or two

Your hair's in a brand new 'do

And you're so happy

Good things happen to bad people

Good things happen to bad people

But only, but only, for a while

You cried the day I walked you down the aisle

And I know you've been bad

From the way you smile

Mona Lisa what a teaser

What's that strange cologne I'm smelling

You know more than you're telling

Well I know you been running around

I know you been running around

'Cause you're so happy

Good things happen to bad people

Good things happen to bad people

But only, but only, for a while

You cried the day I walked you down the aisle

And I know you've been bad

From the way you smile
