Buffy Sainte Marie's ''Bad End'' Lyrics

You'd better watch yourself

That's what people say

It's too late for that

I believe I've had my day

Oo, I've had a hard time

With this soft thing of mine

Seems like bad boys always

Knew how to get through to me

Blow my mind

And I believe I'm coming to a bad end

Oh. I believe I'm coming to a bad end

A bad end

Mmm there was a time I was okay

And yo I loved to baby him

Do anything he say

Then he start to turn on me

And it ain't no fun no more

Now there's bruises in the bed at night

Needles in the drawer

There's blood all in the mirror

And there's strangers at the door

And I believe I'm coming to a bad end

Bad end

A bad end

Aah, coming to a bad end

I'm coming to a bad end

Oh, bad end

I believe I'm coming to a bad end

Mesmerizing cooker from "Coincidence & Likely Stories" masterpiece has a rocking gripping bite to it that is intoxicating and riveting...always enjoyed Buffy over the years, especially "Moonshot", but this stunning collection with hot tracks like "Bad End" has made a real fan out of me, can't get enough and too bad lame music industry doesn't get behind this amazing legendary giant and give deserved acclaim...truly a "Unsung" musical icon...Bravo Buffy Saint Marie!

Oh wow!, absolutely love it! ... Can't believe I hadn't listened to this one before. ...Then again, she's made so many songs and even in many versions, so it's not unbelievable. It's just me giving yet another expressing of awe, that's all!... '^L^, (I owe you another Thanks, NativeAmerican4Life!)

Dark, but so good. Love to see her and John Kay in concert together. Both can tell stories with their vocals.

This album just doesn't have a single track that's mediocre on it. It's brilliant. This "Bad End" is biting and relentless in its beauty.

My native roots are Brule Sioux but I love my Ojibway and Mohawk friends dearly. I also love Buffy and have for many years.

Quite simply, one of the greatest songs I've ever heard (and I've heard a LOT.) Makes me proud to be Canadian. Makes my partner proud of her Metis/Ojibway heritage. Buffy Sainte Marie is a national treasure Meegwetch.

At the time, 1992, I feared this song might indicate she knew something about her health that we didn't know. Fortunately my fears were not justified.

Compulsive. I've had this since it first came out. It's on my 'to be buried with' list.

Such a great album from this great artist.I always play it with Joni's Dog Eat Dog. Smart and incisive, both wonderful Canadian women we should be so proud of.
