"Bad Dream Baby" lyrics

"Bad Dream Baby"

I'm gonna get you a big balloon
A box of chocolates and some cheap perfume
Happy Valentine's day to you
Hope it's better than mine because my dog's about to die, yeah
Got her back when I was 15
My parents split up so they gave her to me
A consolation prize, a real dream
But she always liked my momma better

And I don't even care what my best friends are doing
I'm in bed with the devil, and I kinda need a drink
Let's take a shot of holy water, lay it all to waste
I'm a bad dream baby, and I'll never go away

I'm worried about Britney Spears
It's pretty fucked up how her dad runs her life
I wish my dad was more involved in mine
But not like that really not like that, yeah
My girlfriend's at Coco's house
She's basically the nicest person
Really wish I could be like that
But I'm not like that really not like that, yeah

And I don't even care what my best friends are doing
I'm in bed with the devil, and I kinda need a drink
Let's take a shot of holy water, lay it all to waste
I'm a bad dream baby, and I'll never go away

I just smoked a whole pack of Parliaments
Wanna go back to partying even though I'm old
Remember hanging out at Grumpy's?
Chilling with some dudes in their 40's
They always had my back but never had their own

Kinda wonder what they're doing now
If they had dogs and they had to put em down
Hope my girl's somewhere barking in the clouds
With her dead pet friends, where the love don't end, yeah

And I don't even care what my best friends are doing
I'm in bed with the devil, and I kinda need a drink
Let's take a shot of holy water, lay it all to waste
I'm a bad dream baby, and I'll never go away
