REAL BAD

REAL BAD

(Inspired By the song, "Mad Woman" by Taylor Swift)

What do you think -

I'd say to all that?

Everything I've known, in a blink

Turned to "I don't know what"

Will I ever get you sting –

Like a scorpion fighting back?

What do you even sing?

Driving home in that track

Like me, they strike to kill

Does it already sound bad?

And you know I will

'Cause you made me mad

You call me crazy

And everything in between

Saying I seem angry

Getting angrier than you've seen

Poke that bear

Until her claws are out

You were there -

I can only scream and shout

There's nothing like a woman -

Than one that you made her mad

Acting like you're more of a man

When you do something real bad

Now I'm breathing flames

Each time that I talk

I never liked the games

And so away I began to walk

My canons all firing

At your luxurious yacht

"Move on" they're all saying

How can I just move on from that?

You know I won't -

Let pass all your grave mistakes

Every time they say "don't" -

I do for toxic old time's sakes

And women haunting witches

For sure they like that too

Pretend to be mending stitches

When doing your dirtiest work for you

Obvious reasons are forever

That wanting me dead

Has put you two together

But will give you hell instead

You can call me crazy

What about that?

You can say I'm angry –

But never knowing what

So what a shame

For a mad woman

That fell for the game

Of one vicious greedy man

I am taking my time

After you took everything -

From me, due to your crime

You'll have karma in waiting

There's never more maddening -

Of a spectacle to see

Watching you climbing

Over people like me

You're a spin master

And your couple side flings

Good wives knew better

But they want better things

She should be mad

Like me, she should be seething

But it's just as bad

To know she keeps on staying

For no one likes a woman

Lashing out, driven so mad

By someone like a vicious man

Doing something real bad
