[Verse 1]
Gimme the bad news
Yeah, tell it to me straight
I can take it
I'm starting the countdown
I've got about a minute left for you
Someday, I'm gonna laugh it off until I cry
Someway, I'm gonna get on with my life

[Chorus]
So 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
Now don't turn away
I know the truth no matter what you say
Gimme the bad news, the bad news today

[Verse 2]
So tell me how it feels when you fake it
You know the art of hanging 'round
And leave when there's nothing left to do
Yeah, go on
Let me see you act like the King of Truth
Yeah, be strong
I'm gonna leave it up to you
[Chorus]
So 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
Now don't turn away
I know the truth no matter what you say
Gimme the bad news, the bad news today

[Bridge]
Tell me to get out
That you can't take it
Scream it out loud
We're going down, down
I wanna see you shout
Like it meant something to you
Gimme the bad news, baby

[Chorus]
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
Now don't turn away
I know the truth no matter what you say
Gimme the bad news, the bad news today
Gimme the bad news, the bad news today
Gimme the bad news
Yeah, tell it to me straight
Gimme the bad news
