[Verse 1]
Laying here wrapped in white just trying to not fight again
'Cause I’ve been holding on too long just to let it end
Oh I must be walking on eggshells
Trying not to sell myself out
I bet that’s what she’s thinking
That’s when she said
That’s when she said

[Chorus]
Do you want it bad?
Do you want it bad?
Do you want it bad?
Yeah she said, baby do ya? (Oh-oh)
Or are you just comfortable? (Oh-oh)

Do you want it bad?
Do you want it bad?
Do you want it bad?
Yeah she said, baby do ya? (Oh-oh)
Or are you just comfortable? (Oh-oh)

[Verse 2]
Trying my best to show appreciation, oh yeah
But all apologies are just a miscommunication
Now it’s like I’m walking on eggshells
Trying not to burn the hell out
It’s like pulling magic from my mouth
That’s when she said
That’s when she said

[Chorus]
Do you want it bad?
Do you want it bad?
Do you want it bad?
Yeah she said, baby do ya? (Oh-oh)
Or are you just comfortable? (Oh-oh)

Do you want it bad?
Do you want it bad?
Do you want it bad?
Yeah she said, baby do ya? (Oh-oh)
Or are you just comfortable? (Oh-oh)

[Bridge]
Could I ever do enough to make this coffee more than bitter water?
Could I ever do enough to make you wear this love not like a collar?
Could I ever do enough to make you feel the way you want to feel?
So the next time that you’re sad, tell me that…

[Chorus]
Do you want it bad?
Do you want it bad?
Do you want it bad?
Uh yeah, baby do ya? (Oh-oh)
Or are you just comfortable? (Oh-oh)

Do you want it bad?
Do you want it bad?
Do you want it bad?
Yeah she said, baby do ya? (Oh-oh)
Or are you just comfortable? (Oh-oh)
Are you just comfortable? Oh

With an affection for electronic and R&B sounds, infused with his soulful bedroom vocals and airy beats, Ari Staprans Leff, known professionally as Lauv, has burst onto the music scene with his intimate take on romantic pop.

Lauv’s musical beginnings started in childhood, learning strings as well as playing piano, but neither captivated his interest. However, his connection with music grew when he picked up a guitar at the age of 11. From there, Lauv became obsessed with expressing himself musically, which channeled into an interest in songwriting.

Eventually he made his way to New York University (NYU) in 2012, and entered the prestigious Music Technology Program there, having expanded his music interests into jazz and electronic music production in high school to add to his diversified portfolio.
