[Verse 1]
High time I left my home
Said fathers' daughters
I’ll make it on my own
I’ll find rock bottom
Even if I lose it all
I have to heed the call

[Refrain]
Of rotten ol' me

[Chorus]
Yeah, rotten ol' me
Yeah rotten ol' me. Yeah
Oo rotten ol' me

[Verse 2]
I heard it all along
A distant siren
Try not to sing along
Tried so hard to hide it
Now I have to go
Oh god this I have to see
You never know how bad it gets
Until you find out how bad you can be
[Refrain]
Just you and rotten ol' me

[Chorus]
Ooh rotten ol' me
Yeah, rotten ol' me
Yeah, rotten ol' me

[Bridge]
Look out now

Ooh you’re catchin’ on
Yeah you get my drift
It ain’t no good without a little bad
That just ain’t no way to live

[Refrain]
Says rotten ol' me

[Chorus]
Rotten ol' me
Oh rotten ol' me
Oh god
