Does anyone have the lyrics for the song So Bad? I tried to make a transcription of it but I am missing a few words.

Yeah, want a LOL? OK, here it comes. Please remember English is not my native tongue and I'm Grateful for any help.


That alarm clock (?) that sound is so fierce
Interupting one hell of a dream,
Wish you were here to share it
But I got to bring (?) and bare it, mornings can be so mean
I get to work so hazy, my boss says I'm lazy
But I'm crazy, baby,(?)

I wanna hug you, I wanna squeeze you
I wanna bug you, I wanna tease you
I wanna love you, I wanna please you
So bad, so bad

Now I'm crazy 'bout the feelin', …… (?)
And I'm on my way back to you
We could be at a moon-trip (?) or stay home (hoochie coochied ?)
And don't matter how we do
Oh, I'm gotta get to first place, gotta have that first taste
Baby, it's a natural plan

I wanna hug you, I wanna squeeze you
I wanna bug you, I wanna tease you
I wanna love you, I wanna please you
So bad, so bad

< solo > verse

I think this show's the greatest, I'm telling you the latest
Now I'm number one on the list
Ah-ha, we got to get this straight . . . before we get to late . . .
You had your shot and you missed
So come and tell us baby, no perhaps or maybe
Is it him or me that you have?

I wanna hug you, I wanna squeeze you
I wanna bug you, I wanna tease you
I wanna love you, I wanna please you
So bad, so bad

This is what I made it from the clip on iTunes, which starts halfway through the first verse and ends after the solo:

That alarm clock (?) that sound is so fierce
Interrupting one hell of a dream,
Wish you were here to share it
But I got to grin and bear it, mornings can be so mean
I get to work so hazy, my boss says I'm lazy
But I'm crazy, baby, barking mad

I wanna hug you, I wanna squeeze you
I wanna bug you, I wanna tease you
I wanna love you, I wanna please you
So bad, so bad

Now I'm crazy 'bout the feelin', when (?) heart goes reelin'
And I'm on my way back to you
We could be out a moochin' or stay home hoochie coochin'
It don't matter what we do
Oh, I've gotta get to first base, gotta have that first taste
Baby, it's a natural plan

I wanna hug you, I wanna squeeze you
I wanna bug you, I wanna tease you
I wanna love you, I wanna please you
So bad, so bad

I wanna hug you, I wanna squeeze you
I wanna bug you, I wanna tease you
I wanna love you, I wanna please you
So bad, so bad

All the best, Peter!

Thank you. You're really helpful. I remember once reading a tread here about how people transcribed what they thought they heard - I even think there were a specific term for it. Not good to perform with faulty lyrics. Embarrassing to have egg all over my face without even knowing it.
The Blues Band is an old time favourite. I'd like to do some of the good old stuff with my band. Thanx.
