	Pleasantly reminiscent of pre-Joker Steve Miller, when he wrote great songs that weren't hits (when he was Bad, I guess).	Bruce Beatlefan	August 26, 2006

Lyrics

I used to be bad
But I donьt have to be bad no more
Yeah, I used to be bad
But I donьt have to be bad no more
Well ainьt no doubt about it, people
Itьs something you canьt ignore

Well, I ainьt good looking
People, you know Iьve been up on a shelf
Yes, I know I ainьt good looking
And Iьve been put up on the shelf
But I got a sweet disposition
I like to enjoy myself

I used to be bad
But I donьt have to be bad no more
Yeah, I used to be bad
But I donьt have to be bad no more
You know I learned my lesson
A long, long time ago

Well, no matter what you say
No matter what you do
You got one life to live
Itьs gonna come back home to you
I used to be bad
But I donьt have to be bad no more
You know I learned my lesson
A long, long time ago

The good Lord made this world
And everything thatьs in it
The way I see it, baby
You got to love it to the limit
Oh yes, now people
Itьs something you canьt ignore
Yes I used to be bad
But I ainьt gonna be bad no more

Well, the way you treat me darling
Made me understand
Never quit you baby
Iьm gonna love you to the end
Yeah, I used to be bad
But I ainьt gonna be bad no more
Yes, I learned my lesson
A long, long time ago

Yes, I learned my lesson
A long, long time ago
Yes, I learned my lesson
Youьre gonna reap just what you sow
