Born Bad

Song byElton John

in AlbumVictim Of Love

You've been crying

And there ain't no use denying

It was me

Who put you through this misery

And I'd like to say I'm sorry

But I can't, no I can't

Nothing's gonna change me

Baby, that's the way I am

I was born bad

Always been the same, yes I was born bad

Never gonna change 'cause I was born bad

Only me to blame 'cause I was born bad

Yes I was born bad

Always been my habit, I was born bad

Just can't seem to help it, I was born bad

Always gonna happen, I was born bad

'Cause I was born bad

I mistreat you

And you know I always cheat you

But that's me

And that's the it's always been

And I'd like to say I'm sorry

But I can't, no I can't

Nothing's gonna change me

Baby, that's the way I am
