Alannah Myles

You think you know all about me
'cause you spent the night,ha
Yeah right,not quite
You think you're the one to tame me
I'm your mothers worse nightmere
An out of control freak
Just wait and see

I'm bad for you,I'll hurt your pride
I'll put a whole in your heart ten foot wide
I make you feel like you wanna die
Even I'd run from me if I could
I'm bad for you
And that's good

I'm a killer with a conscience
So I'm warning you watch what you do
Think before you try my patience
I'm an emotional time bomb
A virtual melt down
Yes it's true

I'm bad for you i'll hurt your pride
I'll put a whole in your heart ten foot wide
I make you feel like you wanna die
Even I'd run from me if I could
I'm bad for you, I'm bad for you
And that's good

You know I got a good side too
And I could do some good for you
But i'm bad for you I'll skin your hide
What your left with you won't recognise
If you run away now you'd be wise
Even I'd run from me if I could

I'm Bad for you I'll hurt your pride
I'll put a whole in your heart ten foot wide
I make you feel like you wanna die
Even I'd run from me if I could
Im bad for you, I'm bad for you
I'm bad for you, I'm bad for you
And thats good

When Alannah Myles played the role of a young aspiring singer on an episode of The Kids Of Degrassi Street, it was more than just an act. Less than a decade later, the daughter of Canadian Hall Of Fame Broadcaster William Douglas Byles would be a Grammy and Juno Award-winning singer best known for her 1990 international hit “Black Velvet”.

Myles (who changed her last name from Byles as a teen) began writing songs at nine and was participating in Toronto’s Kiwanis Music Festival at twelve. While gigging solo at nineteen across southern Ontario, songwriter/musician Christopher Ward invited her to form a rock and blues cover band with him. During this time Ward became MuchMusic’s first VJ.

Ward spent seven years trying to get Myles signed. He produced a three song demo for her, and her entertainment lawyer Stephen Stohn came up with the idea of making a ‘video demo’ of Myles singing “Just One Kiss”. This finally attracted Warner Music Canada in 1987. The demo was passed along to Warner’s US affiliate labels and Atlantic Records also took interest.
