Good people do bad things


If you said, "Swear on my soul"
I could not guarantee
I would not want to lie to you
But a liar never cheats
Now I dodged every situation
That brought him near to me
I was lying to my best friend
I'm not where I’d said I'd be

It was a late, late night, we were trying
Not to do the wrong thing, the wrong, wrong thing
So don't look at me that way
Everybody makes those mistakes

Oh, oh (People, people, people)
Good people do bad things
Oh, oh (People, people, people)
Good people do bad things
We tell those lies, we cross the lines
We make our peace and then we overcome
People do bad things
Good people do bad things

Now you come to me with tears in your eyes
Eyes that don’t look up
You can't even bear to say it out loud
But I can read you like a book (Like a book)
Ask yourself why you're upset
And beating yourself up
You've broken your own heart
And that's the proof that shows you're good

When it's a late, late night and you're crying
That you’ve done the wrong thing, the wrong, wrong thing
I’ll never look at you that way
My love, you're going to make mistakes
I will never look at you that way

Oh, oh (People, people, people)
Good people do bad things
Oh, oh (People, people, people)
Good people do bad things
We tell those lies, we cross the lines
We make our peace and then we overcome
People do bad things
Good people do bad things
(Good people do bad things)

It was a late, late night, we were trying
Not to do the wrong thing, the wrong, wrong thing
It was a late, late night, we were trying
Not to do the wrong thing, the wrong, wrong thing
It was a late, late night, we were trying
To do the wrong thing
It was a late, late night, we were trying
Not to do the wrong thing

If you ever make fire (Oh, oh)
You can blame it on me (Good people do bad things)
Oh, oh (People, people, people)
(Good people do bad things)
If you ever need a liar (Oh, oh)
You can lay it on me (Good people do bad things)
People do bad things
Good people do bad things

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
