Lyrics of 'Bad By Myself' by Biz Markie

Yeah yeah yeah
Oooooohh
Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh, yeah yeah yeah
Let me tell you a story now

[verse one]
I was in front of the apollo on amateur night
It was after the show, and the moon was right
The {?} was really perked off the red zone
I was in my mpv, i was all alone
A lot of out-of-town people askin me for
My john hancock or my signature
I gave it to, all of them cause i was down to earth
And plus the apollo is my home turf
So i walked across the street 'til i'm on, 125
I saw this pair of shoes that was really live
It wasn't just a pair of shoes, that was on her
From the ground up, she looked like a plate of lasagna
I said, "hey shorty, not you, your hair"
She turned around slowly and started to stare
She said, "why don'tcha take picture, it'll last a lil' longer?"
Me likin you grew a little bit stronger
She asked me what's my name i said, "emmezah emmezah"
"the name that your momma gave ya is what i prefer"
She asked me what am i drivin, and how is my health
I know what you're really thinkin baby, let me tell you!

[chorus one - biz singing]
I can do bad by myself
I don't need no help, to starve to death
I can do that alone
I can do bad by myself
I don't need no help, to starve to death
I ain't tryin to be funny honey

[verse two]
She started arguin with me, and say she's not like that
I know who you are, i don't care if you're livin fat
Because i have a mother and father that take care of me
And i'm livin in long island with a j-o-b
Okay okay i got you wrong, i must admit
I'ma give you a little time to see if you're legit
So we started goin out on a regular basis
I was takin her to the movies and my hangout,
