Bad Boys Need Love Too Lyrics

Bad boys need love too
(You know who I'm talkin' 'bout)
Bad boys need love too
(You know who I'm talkin' 'bout)
Bad boys need love too
(You know who I'm talkin' 'bout)
Bad boys need love too
(You know who I'm talkin' 'bout)

For all the deadbeat dads
And the kids that they had
The ones that's left behind that's always up on their minds
To know that there's no excuse
To leave a boy in his youth
And now that dirty secret's just some ugly truth
To be left all alone
To never pick up the phone
And all the things I learned I guess I learned on my own
But what's done has been done
And now your only son
Wants to share the love with you he got from his mom

Bad boys need love too
(You know who I'm talkin' 'bout)
Bad boys need love too
(You know who I'm talkin' 'bout)
Bad boys need love too
(You know who I'm talkin' 'bout)
Bad boys need love too
(You know who I'm talkin' 'bout)

I was still just a kid
Barely out of my crib
Left alone at home yes I was raising my sibs
While my mother got paid
Always at someone's aid
She missed us, kissed us, told us she'd be home
Now her kids is full grown
They've got kids of their own
Put the past behind you mind you you're never alone
'Cause my brothers they're two
Yes I got a nephew
Can't change who you are 'til you change what you do

Bad boys need love too
(You know who I'm talkin' 'bout)
Bad boys need love too
(You know who I'm talkin' 'bout)
Bad boys need love too
(You know who I'm talkin' 'bout)
Bad boys need love too
(You know who I'm talkin' 'bout)

Pull from the earth
Every last thing of worth
To know the soil is free of oil, to make that your work
To know that we share
The same water and air
So can't we be more mindful of what we put in there
'Cause we can't be surprised
When the oceans do rise
To tell yourself you'll be okay is to tell yourself lies
So let's change how we live
Less take and more give
It's in my mother's nature now to always forgive

Bad boys need love too
(You know who I'm talkin' 'bout)
Bad boys need love too
(You know who I'm talkin' 'bout)
Bad boys need love too
(You know who I'm talkin' 'bout)
Bad boys need love too
(You know who I'm talkin' 'bout)

Afie Jurvanen isn’t from the Bahamas. He’s a Finnish-Canadian from Barrie--a working class town in rural Ontario. But his chosen epithet is fitting. Since 2009 he’s been making music under the name Bahamas--writing songs about sunsets, love affairs, and making out with crooked smiles. Through simple arrangements, he charts an escape route from the snow belt to the coral reefs. His new album, Barchords, was released in 2012 to critical praise:

"Barchords is a gorgeous, full-bodied recording that revels in spare but intensely flavorful textures. It’s that delightfully rare kind of record that commands an instant replay."
- Los Angeles Times

“A reserved yet melodically rewarding exploration of relationships and heartache.”
– The New Yorker

"A sublime, incomparable leading man, one with a soulful, sweet and stylish touch in his song-writing."
- Globe and Mail

“Barchords is a work of impeccably concise and considered songcraft.”
