Beth Hart - Bad Woman Blues

Beth Hart – Bad Woman Blues – 9/19/2019 – Paste Studio NYC – New York, NY.

Beth’s solo versions of her songs are often more gripping than the ones where she’s playing with other musicians. You’re hearing the very essence and brilliance of the song without any other distraction. She just takes you in and delivers you. You just can’t stop listening. This cut is no exception, simply excellent!

Lyrics:
Got the lips, got the legs
I was born to drive a man insane
I don’t worry and I don’t shame
Put it on me, I’m the queen of pain

I’ve been bad, I’ve been cruel
I’m not sorry, baby, sorry for you
It’s my party and I don’t dance
Just want your liquor and your cheap romance

I’m not your mama, I’m not your wife
I’m not the one who’ll make it right
Them good girls always lose

I got the bad woman blues
(Bad woman blues)
I got the bad woman, bad woman
Bad, bad, bad woman blues
I got the bad woman blues
(Bad woman blues)
I got the bad woman, bad woman
Bad, bad, bad woman blues

Got the hips, got the shake
I put the cherry on your chocolate cake
Don’t need roses or your pink champagne
I’ll be the sugar rush in your veins

I’m not your mama, I’m not your wife
I’m not the one who’ll make it right
Them good girls always lose

Sad as I am, it feels so good to be bad
Sad as I am, it feels so good to be bad

There ain’t no love, if there ain’t no crime
That’s a rap, that’s a rhyme

I’m not your mama, I’m not your wife
I’m not the one who’ll make it right
Them good girls always lose
I don’t pray to angels dressed in white
I’m not the one who’ll save your life
Them good girls always lose

Sad as I am, it feels so good to be bad
Sad as I am, it feels so good to be bad
Sad as I am, it feels so good to be bad
I got the bad woman, bad woman
Bad, bad, bad woman blues
