[Chorus]
I used to be bad but I don't have to be bad no more
Yeah, I used to be bad but I don't have to be bad no more
Well I have no doubt about it, people it's something you can't ignore
[Verse 1]
Well, I am not good looking people, you know I've been up on a shelf
Yes, I know I am not good looking and I've been put up on the shelf
But I got a sweet disposition I like to enjoy myself
[Chorus]
I used to be bad but I don't have to be bad no more
Yeah, I used to be bad but I don't have to be bad no more
You know I learned my lesson a long, long time ago
[Verse 2]
Well, no matter what you say no matter what you do
You got one life to live it's going to come back home to you
I used to be bad but I don't have to be bad no more
You know I learned my lesson a long, long time ago
The good Lord made this world and everything that's in it
The way I see it, baby you got to love it to the limit
Oh yes, now people it's something you can't ignore
Yes I used to be bad but I am not going to be bad no more
Well, the way you treat me darling made me understand
Never quit you baby I'm gonna love you to the end
Yeah, I used to be bad but I am not going to be bad no more
Yes, I learned my lesson a long, long time ago
[Outro]
Yes, I learned my lesson a long, long time ago
Yes, I learned my lesson you're going to reap just what you sow
