Gimme the bad news Tell it to me straight, I can take it I'm startin' the countdown I got about a minute left for you Someday I know I'm gonna laugh it off until I cry Some way I'm gonna get on with my life Gimme the bad news baby now Don't make me wait I wanna know that I'm your biggest mistake Gimme the bad news baby Don't turn away I know the truth no matter what you say Gimme the bad news, the bad news today Tell me how it feels When you fake it You know the art of hangin' round And leave when there is nothin' left to do Go on Let me see you act like you're the King of Truth Be strong I'm gonna leave it up to you [Chorus] Tell me to get out That you can't take it Scream it out loud We're goin' down, down I wanna see you shout Like it meant something to you Gimme the bad news, baby [Chorus]
