Baby Did a Bad Bad Thing
Amy Lee Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You ever love someone so much you thought your little heart was gonna break in two?
(I didn't think so)
You ever tried with all your heart and soul to get you lover back to you?
(I wanna hope so)
You ever pray with all your heart and soul just to watch him walk away?

Baby did a bad bad thing (baby did a bad thing)
Baby did a bad bad thing (baby did a bad thing)
Baby did a bad bad thing (baby did a bad thing)
Baby did a bad bad thing (baby did a bad thing)
Baby did a bad bad thing (baby did a bad thing)
Baby did a bad bad thing (baby did a bad thing)

And I feel like crying, I feel like crying

You ever toss and turn your lying awake and thinking about the one you love?
I don't think so
You ever close your eyes your making believe your holding the one your dreaming of?
Well if you say so
It hurts so bad when you finally know just how low, low, low, low, low, he'll go

Baby did a bad bad thing (baby did a bad bad thing)
Baby did a bad bad thing (baby did a bad bad thing)
Baby did a bad bad thing (baby did a bad bad thing)
Baby did a bad bad thing (baby did a bad bad thing)
Baby did a bad bad thing (baby did a bad bad thing)
Baby did a bad bad thing (baby did a bad bad thing)

And I feel like crying, I feel like crying

Baby did a bad bad thing
Baby did a bad bad thing
Baby did a bad bad thing
Baby did a bad bad thing




Baby did a bad bad thing
And I feel like crying, I feel like crying

I love how Amy is choosing to sing the things that she is drawn towards. I love that she can be so fluid in concept and genre! No one should ever be locked into one single generalization of inspiration. I look forward to whatever you decide to give us next, Amy! Also, I would gladly donate some monetary benefits for everyone's hard work on this YouTube channel if you were to set up a donation link for us. Would anyone else be willing to do so?
