Bad Company

My, my, my
Well, I finished fooling 'round with you, pretty mama
Finished fooling 'round with you

No more wasting my time, baby, no more standing in line
And I'm a shiftin' on, back to where I once came from
Yeah, oh it's been a long

You know I heard it in the news and it gave me the blues
You know it ain't right, people are fighting everywhere I look
People uptight and everywhere
And I'm shiftin' on, back to where I once came from, yeah
Ain't no lie, yeah, ain't it too bad, mama?
Too bad you're gonna cry
Movin' on, oh yeah, now ain't it

Too bad baby, Too bad I'm going to cry
Wait, well I heard it on the news and it gave me the blues
You know it ain't right, people are fighting every place I look
People uptight and everywhere, that's why I'm shiftin' on
Back to where I once came from
Lord I tell you no lie
Ain't it too bad mama, hey, too bad you're going to cry
Too bad you're going to cry, too bad you're going to cry
Too bad you're going to cry baby, mm, ain't no lie, ha
Ah, ah, yeah, that's why I'm shiftin' on
Back to where I belong, going to leave you to cry

Bad Company was not only formed as a supergroup from members of Free (Paul Rodgers and Simon Kirke), Mott the Hoople (Mick Ralphs), and King Crimson (Boz Burrell), but also was immediately signed as the first act on Led Zeppelin’s new label, Swan Song.

So they had a charmed life, from the start. And they made good on everything it promised. They had so many hits we just don’t wanna type them all in with the fancy markup here, so just check them out for yourself, listed by popularity on this very page. Suffice it to say there are few hard blues-rock bands with more songs that hit the US charts.

Here’s one of them, Bad Company, by Bad Company, off the album Bad
