Bad Boys Need Love Too - Afie Jurvanen

For all the deadbeat dads

And the kids that they had

The ones that’s left behind that’s always up on their minds

To know that there’s no excuse

To leave a boy in his youth

And now that dirty secret’s just some ugly truth

To be left all alone

To never pick up the phone

And all the things I learned I guess I learned on my own

But what’s done has been done

And now your only son

Wants to share the love with you he got from his mom

Bad boys need love too

I was still just a kid

Barely out of my crib

Left alone at home yes I was raising my sibs

While my mother got paid

Always at someone’s aid

She missed us, kissed us, told us she’d be home

Now her kids is full grown

They’ve got kids of their own

Put the past behind you mind you you’re never alone

Cause my brothers they’re two

Yes I got a nephew

Can’t change who you are 'til you change what you do

Bad boys need love too

Pull from the earth

Every last thing of worth

To know the soil is free of oil, to make that your work

To know that we share

The same water and air

So can’t we be more mindful of what we put in there

Cause we can’t be surprised

When the oceans do rise

To tell yourself you’ll be okay is to tell yourself lies

So let’s change how we live

Less take and more give

It’s in my mother’s nature now to always forgive

Bad boys need love too
