Great Big Sea
"Bad As I Am"

(written by Bob Hallett / Séan McCann)

Here I go again, my heart's on the line.
I'm willing to pretend, one more time
I got some life to spend, on even rhymes
But when I reach the end, will you (will you) will you be mine?

CHORUS:
This time I know you're not the answer to my prayer
And I have grown with each disappointment through the years
And as bad as I am, and as bad as I am
I'm still here

On the road again
I've paid a fine
Where now is the friend
I leave (I leave) I leave behind?

I'm goin' round the bend
One more climb
But when I reach the end
Will you (will you) will you be mine?

This time I know you're not the answer to my prayer
And I have grown with each disappointment through the years
And as bad as I am, and as bad as I am, and as bad as I am
I'm still here (repeat)

I'm still here (x3)
