Bad 'N' Ruin

[Verse 1]

Mother, don't you recognize your son? Ooh, ooh

Coming home, yeah, yeah

Gettin' home 'cause I failed you, mother, mmm

I'll be there in the morning, if you'll have me back

The rent up here is much too high for a room without a tap

A room without a tap, woo

I'll be early in the morning and I'll find my way back home

Back from bad 'n' ruin with my tail between my legs

Tail between my legs

And I'll be so tired

I'll be so tired, now listen

[Verse 2]

I'll be early tomorrow morning and I'll fall down off my plane

Don't be embarrassed, mother

By your ugly worn-out son, mm

Your ugly worn-out son

So just let me warn you

Mother, you won't recognize me now

Mother, you won't recognize me now

Mother, you won't recognize me now, woo

[Verse 3]

And I'll be down on Cannon Street, passport in my hand

Should you not recognize me

I've heavily made-up my eyes

Momma, you won't recognize me now

Brother, you won't recognize me now

(I know that) Sister, you won't recognize me now

Mother, you won't recognize me now, ooh

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]

So mother, when you've seen me

Don't forget I'm your boy too

I know my brother has done you proud

But he's one foot in the grave

Mother, don't you recognize me now? Ooh, ooh

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]

I'm a burglar in the first degree

But it don't seem to worry me

I'll be so tired, so tired

I'll be so tired, so tired

So tired
