You don't know, so don't say you do--   You don't   You might think that things will change,   But take my word--   They won't   You paint a lovely picture,   But reality intrudes   With a message for you   And it's real bad news      I was undecided like you   At first   But I could not stem the tide of overwhelm   And thirst   You try to keep it going, but a lot of avenues   Just aren't open to you   When you're real bad news      I've got love and anger   They come as a pair   You can take your chances   But buyer beware   And I won't   Make you feel bad   When I show you   This big ball of sad isn't   Worth even filling with air      And baby, let me tell you   You can get some things confused   Like whose secrets are whose   And that's real bad news   Real bad news   Real bad news
