Well I got somethin' to say girl
I hope you're listenin' close
'Cause here's one fish you caught that's
Slippery than most
Baby You're just a schoolgirl
Well here's a lesson you can use
All the other women
Say that I'm Bad News
You're not the first
You won't be the last
Bad News Travels Fast

Well you're friends they all warned you
My heart is black as coal
So if you wanna ride my highway baby
You gotta pay the toll
You know I'm bad
That's where it's at
Bad News Travels Fast
Well, don't you try to change me
I'll just string you along
Sit back and enjoy the ride
Tomorrow I'll be gone

Baby you're just a schoolgirl
Here's a lesson you should learn
If you want my lovin', baby
You gotta wait your turn
Well You're not the first
You won't be the last
