[Verse 1]

Badyada yada yada yada, you cut me in half

One side dropped dead, and the other’s got scars

You don’t know why, you don’t know why

But you played the cards that you play

Badyada yada yada yada, you cut me in half

And I saw the knife, didn’t know it was so sharp

Lived the life, didn’t know it was so hard

You live the life that you live

[Chorus]

I bet you’re so glad you know me

Bet you’re so glad you know me

What are you like when you’re lonely?

Who are you when you’re lonely?

So glad you know me

Bet you’re so glad you know me

What are you like when you’re lonеly?

Who are you when you’re la-la-lonеly?

[Hook]

I love the life, but the life don’t love me back

I love the life, but the life’s so (torturous)

I love the life, but the life don’t love me back

I love the life, but the life’s so (sweet)

I love the life, but the life don’t love me back

I love the life, but the life’s so (torturous)

I love the life, but the life don’t love me back

I love the life, but the life’s so (sweet, so sweet)

[Verse 2]

Bada yada yada yada, you cut me in half

One side dropped dead, and the other’s got scars

You don’t know why, you don’t know why

But you played the cards that you play

Bada yada yada yada, you cut me in half

And I saw the knife, didn’t know it was so sharp

Lived the life, we didn’t know it was so hard

You lived your life, and you played your cards

[Bridge]

(Bada yada yada, ah—lived your life and played your cards)

(Go bada yada yada, ah)

(Bada yada yada, ah—lived your life and played your cards)

(Go bada yada yada, ah)

[Verse 3]

You look like the love of your life—that’s fine

Don’t waste my life, my time? That’s fine

Don’t like when another might shine so bright

‘Cause then you gotta find where you left that knife

You look like the love of your life—that’s fine

Don’t waste my life, my time? That’s fine

Don’t like when another might shine so bright

‘Cause then you gotta find where you left that knife

[Chorus]

I bet you’re so glad you know me

Bet you’re so glad you know me

What are you like when you’re lonely?

Who are you when you’re lonely?

So glad you know me

Bet you’re so glad you know me

What are you like when you’re lonely?

Who are you when you’re la-la-lonely?

[Outro]

Badyada yada yada, you cut me in half

One side dropped dead, and the other’s got scars

You don’t know why, you don’t know why

But you played the cards that you play

Bada yada yada yada, you cut me in half

I saw the knife, didn’t know it was so sharp

Lived the life, we didn’t know it was so hard

But you played the—

And you play—

Go—

Badyada yada yada, you cut me in half

One side dropped dead, and the other’s got scars

You don’t know why, you don’t know why

But you played the cards that you play

Badyada yada yada, you cut me in half

I saw the knife, I didn’t know it was so sharp

Lived the life, we didn’t know it was so hard

You lived your life, and you played your cards
