Oh, I was tough kid, I said I couldn't detain
Did a man and all my friends said I changed
Left that poor room when my money came
But in a while I was on my way back again

Bad breaks follow me all around
Bad breaks won't let up, get me down
Down, down, down

Said you better watch out
Baby, and you better beware
I wait for you to get somewhere
Just when you think that you got it made
Just see this, only leave it in your shame

Bad breaks follow me all around
Bad breaks won't never get me down
Down, down, down, down, down, come on

Bad breaks follow me all around
Bad breaks won't let them, won't let them
Won't let them get me down

Bad breaks follow me all around
Bad breaks won't let them get me down
Bad breaks follow me all around
Bad breaks won't let them get me down
Down, down, down, down
