Bad Idea
Sara Bareilles feat. Jason Mraz Lyrics

It's a bad idea, me and you
Starting a relationship between the two of us is not a good idea.

It's a bad idea, me and you
I know that beginning a relationship with you is not the right thing to do.

I've never known anything so true
This relationship feels like the right thing to do despite its flaws and the risks involved.

It's a terrible idea, me and you
Commencing a relationship between us is a terrible idea because of the complications and the people we would hurt.

You have a wife
You're already married to someone else.

You have a husband
You're already married to someone else.

You're my doctor
It's inappropriate for us to be in a romantic relationship because you're my doctor.

You've got a baby coming
You're about to have a baby with your current partner, so we shouldn't start a relationship.

Let's just keep kissing til we come to
We might as well enjoy the moment and romantically kiss each other until we decide to end this failed potential relationship.

Heart, stop racing
I need to calm my heart because things between us aren't going to work out.

Let's face it, making mistakes like this
We're going to regret our decision of starting a relationship.

Will make worse what was already pretty bad
Beginning a relationship will only make things worse for us and those around us.

Mind, stop running
I need to stop my thoughts from running wild in my head about us and try to move on.

It's time we just let this thing go
It's time for us to accept that we shouldn't be together and move on.

It was a pretty good bad idea, wasn't it though?
Even though we know a relationship wouldn't work, we still enjoyed kissing each other and wish it could have worked out.

Hold me close while I think this through
Embrace me while I try to process and decide what to do about our relationship.

(Um, um, yeah)
A sound effect (vocalization) inserted for lyrical effect and doesn't have any meaning to contribute.

Yeah, it's a very poor idea, me and you
We're definitely making the wrong decision by starting a relationship together.

Maybe one more kiss will make us come to
One last kiss might be able to change our minds about the relationship we're entering into.

It's not right for me
Starting a relationship with you isn't right because of the circumstances and risks involved.

It's the only thing I've ever done
This might be the only time in my life where I've taken such a big risk despite knowing it's not right.

What if I never see myself ever be anything more
What if I never find someone better than you despite the knowledge that we can't be together?

Than what I've already become?
Will I always be someone who makes bad decisions like this?

I need a bad idea
Even though I know it's not right, I have an innate desire to make this relationship work despite the knowledge that it's a bad idea.

Just one
I only need one bad idea to know that things won't work out between us.

Heart, keep racing
I know things won't work out, but I can't help but feel chemistry and attraction towards you.

Let's make mistakes
Let's make reckless decisions despite knowing the consequences.

Let us say "so what?" and make worse what was already pretty bad
We'll knowingly make the situation worse by continuing in the relationship without worrying about the consequences.

This secret is safe
We'll keep our relationship a secret to avoid any confrontations and dramas.

No reason to throw it away when there's love to be had
We won't stop our relationship because there's some love to be away, no matter how wrong it is.

Hold me tight as I tell myself that you might make sense
Even though I know we shouldn't be in a relationship, I hold on tight and try to convince myself that we could have a future.

And make good what has been just so bad
I hope we can make the terrible situation into something better.

Let's see this through
Let's keep going with this relationship until we can't anymore.

It's a pretty good bad idea
Even though it's not advisable, we still felt like the relationship was worth it to an extent.

Me and you
Just the two of us, although it's not practical to move forward with a relationship.
