Bad Checks

Baby you look so good you look so fine
I forgot my check book so I’m standing in this teller line
And when you stand so close to me and give me such sweet affection
I know you’re looking for some overdraft protection

Emotional bankrupt emotionally drained
What am I thing of I know it’s not my brain
I keep giving you money honey I don’t really have
I thought I would be happy, but I feel so bad

Chorus
Hurt me girl, make me write bad checks (x2)
I’d be pitying the poor young fool
Who be loving you next
Hurt me baby make me write bad checks (x3)

Went down to the bank early this morning
The cashier looked up at me and gave me this warning (she said it so nice)
Alan I told you once don’t make me say it twice
You’ve been over drawn, Al
On a love long gone

Chorus

Emotional bankrupt emotionally drained
What am I thing of I know it’s not my brain
What is it with money honey now please explain
To me it’s just temporary relief from minor existential pain

Chorus
