[Chorus 1]
You're so bad you’re so bad you're so
You're so bad you’re so bad

[Verse 1]
You think you're in love
Like it's a real sure thing
But every time you fall
You get your ass in a sling
You used to be strong
But now it's ooh baby please
Because falling in love is so hard on the knees

[Chorus 1]
You're so bad you're so bad you're so
You're so bad you’re so bad

[Verse 2]
We was making love when you told me that you loved me
I thought ol’ cupid he was taking aim
I was believer when you told me that you loved me
And then you called me someone else's name

[Chorus 2]
There ain’t gonna be no more begging you please
You know what I want
And it ain't one of these
You're bad to the bone
And your girlfriend agrees
That falling in love is so hard on the knees

[Chorus 1]
You're so bad you’re so bad you're so
You're so bad you're so bad

[Verse 3]
Chip off the old block
Man you're so much like your sister
My fantasize it must be outta luck
My old libido has been blowin a transistor
I feel like I have been hit by a fuck, yeah

[Chorus 3]
I'm Jonesing on love
Yeah I got the DT's
You say that we will
But there ain't no guarantees
I'm major in love
But in all minor keys
Cause falling in love is so hard on the knees

[Verse 4]
What are you looking for
It's got to be hardcore
Must be some kind of nouveau riche
Is this your only chance
Or some hypnotic trance
Let's get you on a tighter leash
Own it own it own it

[Chorus 1]
You're so bad you're so bad you're so
You're so bad you're so bad

[Verse 5]
You ain't that good
Is what you said down to the letter
But you like the way I hold the microphone
Sometimes I'm good but when I'm bad
I'm even better
Don't give me no lip
I've got enough of my own

[Chorus 2]
There ain't gonna be no more begging you please
You know what I want
And it ain't one of these
You're bad to the bone
And your girlfriend agrees
That falling in love is so hard on the knees

[Chorus 3]
I'm Jonesing on love
Yeah I got the DT's
You say that we will
But there ain't no guarantees
I'm major in love
But in all minor keys
Cause falling in love is so hard on the knees

Aerosmith is an American rock band, sometimes referred to as “The Bad Boys from Boston” and “America’s Greatest Rock and Roll Band.” Formed in 1970, its founding members are Steven Tyler (vocals, keyboards, harmonica), Tom Hamilton (bass), Joey Kramer (drums), Joe Perry (guitar, vocals) and Brad Whitford (guitar).

The band released their eponymous debut studio album in 1973 featuring the single “Dream On,” which remains one of their most popular songs. Their next four albums made them rock stars across the US and Canada, spawning the hits “Sweet Emotion”, “Last Child”, “Walk This Way”, “Back In The Saddle”, “Draw The Line”, and a cover of “Come Together” for the Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band Soundtrack.

Before the release of their fifth album Draw The Line, the band’s substance abuse began to destroy them. Perry quit after a backstage fight with Tyler in 1979, and Whitfield left two years later. Despite moderate sales, the band’s fifth and sixth albums were considered flops when compared to the band’s past accomplishments. When Perry and Whitfield returned in 1984, their eighth album Done With Mirrors was also deemed unsuccessful despite strong reviews. Doug Herzog (MTV, VH1)
