Lizzo - Still Bad Lyrics

 Lizzo - Still Bad Lyrics

I'm 'bout to throw my phone away

Can't let my girls know bro been fucking with my day

He act like he can't be replaced, okay

Well, he gon' hate to see me leave but love to watch me walk away

He knocked me down

Thought I'd never get my fine ass off the ground, oh

But I'm ready now

Feeling crazy lately, baby, let's go out

I don't need him, I need a drink

Let's turn this pain into some champagne, baby

Like cheers, bitch, it's been a day

Might take that last flight out to Vegas, what y'all think? (Okay)

I don't need him, I need a drink

I don't know why life been so fucked up lately

But after everything

I'm still surviving, and I'm still bad, baby

So bitch, I can't complain

I'm still bad, babe

Plot twist, I'm doing great

I make that been-through-shit look sexy anyway

I don't need him, I need to throw ass, been a minute

Break fast with my bitches

Real love, real life, damn, I been missing

He knocked me down

I thought I'd never get my fine ass off the ground, oh

But I'm ready now

Feeling crazy lately, baby, let's go out, ooh

I don't need him, I need a drink

Let's turn this pain into some champagne, baby

Like cheers, bitch, it's been a day

Might take that last flight out to Vegas, what y'all think? (Okay)

I don't need him, I need a drink

I don't know why life been so fucked up lately

But after everything

I'm still surviving, and I'm still bad, baby

So bitch, I can't complain

I'm still bad, babe

Who's bad?

I'm still bad, babe

Don't stop, get it, get it

She back in the building

Still bad, don't forget it

I'm still bad, babe

Don't stop, get it, get it

She back in the building

Still bad, don't forget it

I don't need him, I need a drink

Let's turn this pain into some champagne, baby

Like cheers, bitch, it's been a day (Oh, been a day)

Might take that last flight out to Vegas, what y'all think? (Okay)

I don't need him, I need a drink

I don't know why life been so fucked up lately (Hey, baby)

But after everything

I'm still surviving, and I'm still bad, baby

So bitch, I can't complain
