Bad Love Lyrics


Oh what a feeling I get when I'm with you
You take my heart into everything you do
And it makes me sad for the lonely people
I walked that road for so long
Now I know that I'm one of the lucky people
Your love is making me strong

[Chorus:]
I've had enough Bad Love
I need something I can be proud of
I've had enough bad love
No more bad love

And now I see that my life has been so blue
With all the heartaches I had till I met you
But I'm glad to say now that's all behind me
With you here by my side
And there's no more memories to remind me
Your love will keep me alive

[Chorus: x3]

Bad Love Song Chart
  • Mick Jones from the band Foreigner wrote this with Clapton. It's not the first time Jones had worked with other rock stars: he produced Van Halen's 5150 album.
  • This won the 1990 Grammy for Best Rock Vocal. Clapton got a Grammy in 1972 for playing on the Concert For Bangladesh, which won Best Album, but this was his first as a solo artist. He won six more in 1993, including three for "Tears In Heaven."
  • Clapton's record company, Warner Brothers, was pressuring him to write something similar to "Layla" so they could have a hit from the Journeyman album. So, setting out to write a hit song with Mick Jones, Clapton followed his "Layla" formula to create this song.
  • Phil Collins played on the Journeyman album and sang backup on some tracks. Clapton played on Collins' first album in 1981.
  • The bridge is based on "Badge," which is one of Clapton's hits with Cream. Mick Jones had the idea to use it.
  • This was released as the first single from Journeyman, the first album Clapton released after his Crossroads boxed set.
