Arctic Monkeys - The Bad Thing lyrics

Do the bad thing

Take off your wedding ring

But it might make it that much easier

It might make it worse

On the night's like a whirlwind

Somebody's girlfriend talkin' to me, but it's alright

She's sayin' that he's not gonna slap me

Or try to attack me

He's not the jealous type

And I only need to get half an excuse and I'm away

But if there's no excuses

That's much easier to say

I've been before

And all these capers

Makes her to forward to ignore

Well she's talkin' but I'm not entirely sure

Do the bad thing

Take off your wedding ring

But it might make it that much easier

It might make it worse

Oh I'm stood at the bar

And somebody's partner's talkin' to me

But I don't know that is what she isn't

She murmurs things to confirm that the tragedy is true

And I knew how could she not

She could have anyone she want

And I'm strugglin' to think of an immediate response, like,

''I don't mind

Be a big mistake for you to wait

And let me waste your time

Really, love is fine

Said, really, love is fine''

And then the first time it occured

That there was something to destroy

I knew before the invitation that there was this ploy

Oh but she carried on suggestin'

I struggled to refuse

She said ''It's the red wine this time

But that is no excuse''
