Bad Boys Need Love Too

Bad boys need love too

You know who I'm talkin' 'bout

Bad boys need love too

You know who I'm talkin' 'bout

Bad boys need love too

You know who I'm talkin' 'bout

Bad boys need love too

You know who I'm talkin' 'bout

All the deadbeat dads

And the kids that they had

Those ones that's left behind

That's always up on their minds

To know that there's no excuse

To leave a boy in his youth

And now that dirty secret's just some ugly truth

To be left all alone

To never pick up the phone

And all the things I learned

I guess I learned on my own

But what's done has been done

And now your only son

Wants to share the love with you

He got from his mom, I said

Bad boys need love too

You know who I'm talkin' 'bout

Bad boys need love too

You know who I'm talkin' 'bout

Bad boys need love too

You know who I'm talkin' 'bout

Bad boys need love too

You know who I'm talkin' 'bout

I was still just a kid

Barely out of my crib

Left alone at home

Yes, I was raisin' my sib's

While my mother got paid

Always at someone's aid

She missed us, kissed us, told us

That she'd be home late

Now her kids is full grown

They got kids of their own

Put the past behind you

Mind you, you're never alone

'Cause my brother's there too

Yes, I got a nephew

Can't change who you are

Until you change what you do, I said

Bad boys need love too

You know who I'm talkin' 'bout

Bad boys need love too

You know who I'm talkin' 'bout

Bad boys need love too

You know who I'm talkin' 'bout

Bad boys need love too

You know who I'm talkin' 'bout

I grow from the Earth

Every last thing of worth

To know the soil is free of oil

To make that your work

To know that we share

The same water and air

So can't we be more mindful

Of what we put in there?

'Cause we can't be surprised

When the oceans do rise

To tell yourself yourself you'll be ok

Is to tell yourself lies

So let's change how we live

Less takin', more give

It's in my mother's nature now

To always forgive, I said, uh

Bad boys need love too

You know who I'm talkin' 'bout

Bad boys need love too

You know who I'm talkin' 'bout

Bad boys need love too

You know who I'm talkin' 'bout

Bad boys need love too

You know who I'm talkin' 'bout
