[Verse]
You've been crying
And there isn't no use denying
It was me
Who put you through this misery
And I'd like to say I'm sorry
But I can't, no I can't
Nothing's going to change me
Baby, that's the way I am
I was born bad
Always been the same, yes I was born bad
Never gonna change cause I was born bad
Only me to blame cause I was born bad
Yes I was born bad
Always been my habit, I was born bad
Just can't seem to help it, I was born bad
Always going to happen, I was born bad
Because I was born bad
I mistreat you
And you know I always cheat you
But that's me
And that's the it's always been
And I'd like to say I'm sorry
But I can't, no I can't
Nothing's gonna change me
Baby, that's the way I am
