[Verse 1]
Check it out, read about it, heard about it, now it's me
I shoulda seen it coming, would have stayed free
Big fancy wedding for her friend's jealousy
The house was mine now she got the key
[Chorus]
I signed a bad contract, Lord
I signed a bad contract, yeah
Sign on the line, you only get half back
I signed a bad contract, Lord
[Chorus]
“take what you came with,” that's what I say
But the judge didn't see it that way
They say every dog has got its day
Well the dog had to go y'all, with half my pay
[Chorus]
I signed a bad contract, Lord
I signed a bad contract, yeah
Sign on the line, you only get half back
I signed a bad contract, Lord
[Verse 3]
Not about cheating, I'm tired of the strife
When the woman you love ruins your life
The mask fell off that used to be my wife
Now she's stabbing me in the back with a lawyer's knife
[Chorus]
I signed a bad contract, Lord
I signed a bad contract, nah
Sign on the line, you only get half back
I signed a bad contract, y'all
[Verse 4]
Love don't need a law, so why we need a witness?
To see us sign a paper ‘cause yes, it's a business
The contract I signed was written with a slickness
My lawyer looked at me and said “settle with a quickness”
[Chorus]
I signed a bad contract, Lord
I signed a bad contract, nah
Sign on the line, you only get half back
I signed a bad contract, oh no
