Baby I Got You Bad (alternative version) - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

Babe I got you bad

Dreaming blood-wet dreams

only madmen have

Baby I got you bad

I wish to God I never had

And it makes me feel so sad,

O, Baby I got you bad

Yeah, Babe I got you bad

I long for your kiss,

for the turn of your mouth

Your body is a long thing

Heading South

And I don't know what I'm talking about

All of my words have gone mad

Ah, baby I got you bad

Seasons have gone wrong

And I lay me down in a bed of snow

Darling, since you've been gone

well my hands, they don't know where to go

And all of my teeth are bared,

I got you so much I'm scared

Ah, baby I got you bad

With the sweep of my hand

I undid all the plans

that explode at the moment I kissed you

on your small hot mouth

and your caramel limbs

that are hymns to the glory that is you.

Look at me darlin' it's sad sad sad

Look at me darlin' it's sad sad sad

Baby I got you bad

Smoke bilowing from the bridges

and the rivers we swim in are boiling

My hands are reaching for you everywhere

but you're not there, or you're recoiling

and a weary moon dangles from a cloud

Oh honey, I know it's not allowed

To say I got you bad.

I got you bad...

I got you bad...

I got you bad...
