Be kind to your bad self Cause sooner or later you'll come out good And after the black light They note that a scratch reflects in the sun [Chorus] How many times do I have to say it? How often can I say it until you believe? They were all love letters These are all love letters To me Be kind to your bad self Cause sooner or later someone else grabs the whip Conspirator feels for nothing Tyrannical mandate in the hip of the square [Chorus] How many times do I have to say it? How often can I say it until you believe? They were all love letters These are all love letters To me These kids grow so fast Free pa**es don't count for much anymore Spell out your mantra in ink From a bone Be kind to your bad self How many times do I have to say it? How many times do I have to say it? Now you don't get letters Cause I only send anything long form to me To tell it like a pressure unspoken How often can I say it until you believe? These are all love letters They were all love letters These are all love letters To me
