Intro/Chorus: ’cause baby, now we’ve got bad blood.
              You know, it used to be mad love.
              So take a look what you’ve done.
              ’cause baby, now we’ve got bad blood. Hey!
              Now we’ve got problems.
              And I don’t think we can solve ’em.
              You made a really deep cut.
              And baby now we’ve got bad blood. Hey!
