Both Feet In The Water
Bad Company Lyrics

The company I'm keeping, well it may be bad
I acknowledge that the people I hang out with are not necessarily the best, and could even be considered troublesome.

But it ain't bad enough, compared to me
However, I am even worse than they are, in terms of reputation and behavior.

So baby start believing, I'm the best you've ever had
Despite my negative qualities, I want you to have faith in me and accept that I am the most suitable companion you could hope for.

Just give me time and I will make you see
I understand that my reputation needs improvement, but I am willing to work on it and prove myself to you over time.

Gonna prove you wrong, gonna prove me right
I am determined to demonstrate to you that I am not as bad as others may claim, and that we are a good match for each other.

You better make your mind up, it's gotta be tonight
However, I need you to make a decision about our relationship as soon as possible, as I am eager to get things moving forward.

Baby baby baby, I can light your fuse
I am deeply attracted to you and confident that I can ignite your passion and interest in me.

You ain't got nothing, nothing to lose, baby
I assure you that taking a chance on me and our relationship is a risk-free endeavor, and that you have nothing to lose by giving me a chance.

Put both feet in the water - put 'em in the water, baby
I want you to take a leap of faith and commit fully to our relationship, rather than hesitating or holding back.

Put your fears in the past - put 'em in the past, yeah
I encourage you to let go of any doubts or concerns you may have about our relationship and move forward with me confidently.

Forget what people have told you - don't listen
It is important for you to avoid being swayed by negative rumors or gossip about me, as they are likely exaggerated or untrue.

If you want our loving to last
If we are going to build a strong and lasting relationship, it is essential that you trust and believe in me completely.

I know what you've been hearing, and it makes me mad
I am frustrated and upset that you have been exposed to negative rumors about me that are likely untrue or distorted.

To think that you'd believe so many lies
I am disappointed that you would be swayed by the rumors and not see me for who I really am or give me the benefit of the doubt.

Girl I'm gonna tell you one thing, the rumours may be bad
Despite the negative rumors, I want you to know that I am a good person with positive qualities, and that the rumors are likely unfounded.

But you ain't got no right to criticize
Regardless of the rumors or what you may have heard about me, I believe that you have no right to judge or criticize me without getting to know me first.

Because I heard about you and the things you do
I am aware that you also have a reputation, and that there may be negative rumors or gossip about you as well.

You gotta make your mind up, am I coming through?
I need you to be clear and honest with me about your interest in our relationship, so that we can move forward together with a shared understanding and commitment.

So baby baby baby, it's time you made your move
I am eager for you to take action and commit to our relationship, rather than continuing to hesitate or hold back.

I ain't got nothing, nothing to prove, baby
I am confident in myself and my abilities to be a good partner to you, and believe that I don't need to prove anything to you other than my commitment and sincerity.

You'd better listen, baby
I hope that you are listening to what I am saying, and that my words and actions are helping you to see the potential for a strong and lasting relationship between us.
