[Verse 1]
I heard you think I'm seeing someone else
I know it
You're feeling insecure ‘cause you know
You've been wrong
This happens every time
You go out and you leave me behind
I wouldn't waste my time
Finding someone new
[Verse 2]
I know from time to time that we go through
Some changes
But changes just won't change the way I feel
For you
No man could ever keep
A guarantee of life of happiness
How could times that we had
Make up for the bad
So in other words, baby, what I'm trying to say is…
[Chorus]
I'd rather spend the bad times with you
Than spend the good times, with somebody new
I'd rather spend the bad times with you
Than spend the good times, with someone new
I'd rather spend the bad times with you
Than spend the good times, with somebody new
I'd rather spend the bad times with you
Than spend the good times, with someone new
Hey baby, do you understand what I'm tryin' to tell ya?
Listen, fellas, can you help me out with just a little bit here?
Come on, and see if you can get him to listen to what I'm trying to say
Sing
I'd rather spend the bad times with you (Uh-huh)
Than spend the good times, with somebody new
I'd rather spend the bad times with you (I hear you)
Than spend the good times, with someone new
I'd rather spend the bad times with you (Hey)
Than spend the good times, with somebody new
I'd rather spend the bad times with you
(Don't want nobody else, no)
Than spend the good times, with someone…
I'd rather spend the bad times with you
Than spend the good times, with somebody new
(Don't want nobody else)
I'd rather spend the bad times with you
Than spend the good times, with someone new
Don't want nobody new, baby
I just want you — you, baby
I'd rather spend the bad times with you
Than spend the good times, with somebody new
I'd rather spend the bad times with you
Than spend the good times, with someone new
I love you, baby
Come on help me, fellas
[scatting]
I'd rather spend the bad times with you
Than spend the good times, with somebody new
I'd rather spend the bad times with you
Than spend the good times…
I'd rather spend the bad times with you
Than spend the good times, with somebody new
I'd rather spend the bad times with you
Than spend the good times, with someone new
