Bad (Demo) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
All the little gifts you gave
I call it over compensating
Feeling just like a princess
Every answer was always yes
You had me living in a dream
What’s forever long to you
Did you say that to her too
Making sure that I’d never know
Callin her while the shower goes
Then crawl back in bed it's a shame

[Pre-Chorus]
I probably should’ve known better
I probably should’ve known better
Every word you said you was sweet but you was lying
Everything you covered up, making up just to keep to me from crying

[Chorus]
I wish that you woulda treated me bad
The truth is you couldn’t have loved me better
Now I’m left feeling twice as sad
I wish you woulda treated me bad bad bad
I wish that you woulda treated me bad
Truth is you couldn’t have loved me better
Now I’m left feeling twice as sad
I wish you woulda treated me bad bad bad
[Verse 2]
I wasn’t catching on to you
Blinded by your lips so smooth
Excusing all of your gotta goes
Leaving me to be all alone
Then you took my heart just the same

[Pre-Chorus]
I probably should’ve known better
I probably should’ve known better
Every word you said you was sweet but you was lying
Everything you covered making up just to keep to me from crying

[Chorus]
I wish that you woulda treated me bad
The truth is you couldn’t have loved me better
Now I’m left feeling twice as sad
I wish you woulda treated me bad bad bad
I wish that you woulda treated me bad
Truth is you couldn’t have loved me better
Now I’m left feeling twice as sad
I wish you woulda treated me bad bad bad

[Bridge]
Tell me the truth
Was it worth it was I worth it for you
Cus we were perfect we working til you
Forgot to tell me you been seeing someone else for six years
[Chorus]
I wish that you woulda treated me bad
The truth is you couldn’t have loved me better
Now I’m left feeling twice as sad
I wish you woulda treated me bad bad bad
I wish that you woulda treated me bad
Truth is you couldn’t have loved me better
Now I’m left feeling twice as sad
I wish you woulda treated me bad bad bad

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

Known for performing covers of popular music and singing with her sister, Lennon Stella took fans by surprise when she dropped her first original demo “Bad”.

In “Bad”, Stella takes listeners through the story of an unfaithful relationship in which her boyfriend secretly cheats on her over the course of six years.

It is unclear if the track is based on any of Stella’s real-life relationships. Besides being rumored to have been dating fellow Nashville singer Jacob Whitesides after his Instagram post captioned “my fave girl”, Stella has kept her love life out of the spotlight.
