Lyrics Kate Nash – Bad Lieutenant

My head is underwater
And I can’t see the line
I guess you overstepped it
But baby I’ll be fine

So go on, hold me down and flush
‘Cause darling I ain’t in a rush
And I can hold my breath
Best not forget

I’m a bad lieutenant

God knows I’ve had enough tough love
‘Nough blood, knees are bruised up
Ain’t worried ’bout being down on my luck
If you check I’m a diamond in the rough
If you knew me back in the day, know what I’m made of
And I’ll call your bluff, what?

I’m a bad lieutenant
Call me crazy, I’m velvet
Already told you I was made of bricks, I’m cement
Got my girl gang, got my back girl dem
The boys love me and I love them
I ain’t got time if you ain’t a friend
Talk back, get yourself to the back then

What am I, what am I, what am I made of?
I’m a bad lieutenant
What am I, what am I, made of?
I’m a, I’m a bad lieutenant

I’ve been thinking of you
Been wondering where you’ve been
If you bump into me (oh!)
Forgive me for my sins

God knows I’ve had enough tough love
‘Nough blood, knees are bruised up
Ain’t worried ’bout being down on my luck
If you check I’m a diamond in the rough
If you knew me back in the day, know what I’m made of
And I’ll call your bluff, what?

I’m a bad lieutenant
Call me crazy, I’m velvet
Already told you I was made of bricks, I’m cement
Got my girl gang, got my back girl dem
The boys love me and I love them
I ain’t got time if you ain’t a friend
Talk back, get yourself to the back then

I’m a bad lieutenant
I’m a bad lieutenant (oh!)

What am I, what am I, what am I made of?
I’m a bad lieutenant
What am I, what am I, made of?
I’m a, I’m a bad lieutenant

What?

I’m a bad lieutenant
Call me crazy, I’m velvet
Already told you I was made of bricks, I’m cement
Got my girl gang, got my back girl dem
The boys love me and I love them
I ain’t got time if you ain’t a friend
Talk back, get yourself to the back then

I’m a bad lieutenant
I’m a bad lieutenant
