You’ve heard the rumors
I know they’re pretty bad
The only thing worse than the rumors are the cold hard facts
I ain’t no angel
But maybe you like it like that

Mama told me
I always was a problem child
But lord knows I never had a problem getting wild
I know some back roads baby
If you wanna get lost for a while

I'm bad news
I bet you heard about that
Yeah, I'm bad news and bad news travels fast

Top down
Bo Diddley blasting who do you love
I saw you walking, wind in your hair
Powerful stuff I talked you into my ride and girl the game was up

I'm bad news
I bet you heard about that
Yeah, I'm bad news and bad news travels fast

I like a slow blues
But who’s got time for that?
Baby I'm bad news and bad news travels fast

Running, chasing, never thought I’d ever take the turnaround first time feeling
Maybe you’re the sign I should slow it down

I'm bad news
I bet you heard about that
Yeah, I'm bad news and bad news travels fast I like a slow blues
But who’s got time for that?
Baby I'm bad news and bad news travels fast

Yeah, I'm bad news and bad news travels fast
