Take care of the way he's smiling You can see so easily The Devil's in him deep deep down Oh that man's got the baddest blood you'll see When he smiles you got to pray He stays that way and don't mad Cos there ain't no good inside him He was born bad Oh the maddest dog he fears him And his woman she looks so sad She knows he was born bad He was born bad Oh yeah he was born bad Don't you look for a little piece that's good Thinking you can't save his soul Don't you ever try to trust him Or for sure he'll take control And when he smiles you got to pray He stays that way and don't mad Cos there ain't no good inside him He was born bad Oh the maddest dog he fears him And his woman she looks so sad She knows he was born bad He was born bad He was born bad Oh the maddest dog he fears him And his woman she looks so sad She knows he was born bad He was born bad He was born bad

I take a bullet ride down Brighton Beach I pick a package right up off the street I sing a song about love, Tennessee There's 'bout a million places I could be I know the sunny side seems out of reach When all your skinny friends keep losing teeth I know the pretty things they ain't for me There's 'bout a million things I'd rather be Maybe the good life and me and you we ain't such a good match All the chips are stacked We keep coming last Maybe we were born bad Like a sign of the times Maybe we were born bad There's no reason or rhyme You keep a bullet tied tight 'round your neck In case a couple things ain't happened yet You got a killer frame, your silhouette And 'bout a million dreams inside your head No, I can't sing you back, can't write a check And I ain't out of love, ain't out of debt It's all the little things I can't forget It's 'bout a million things I should have said Maybe the good life and me and you we ain't such a good match All the chips are stacked We keep coming last Maybe we were born bad Like a sign of the times Maybe we were born bad There's no reason or rhyme Sometimes star-crossed kids never catch a break Hard times follow wherever you go Don't let the flame inside ever die away Hold on tight, girl, don't ever lose hope Maybe the good life and me and you we ain't such a good match All the chips are stacked We keep coming last Maybe we were born bad Like a sign of the times Maybe we were born bad There's no reason or rhyme
