Lyrics

[Verse 1]
MMM
WELL, I KEPT MY HANDS FULL
I KEPT MY WORD TOO
I WAS SWEET AS SUMMER PEACHES
RIGHT HERE WITH YOU

You let the good one bruise
You left it in the sun
Now the whole sack's turning
And baby, you're the one

[Pre-Chorus]
I gave you clean chances
I gave you my best
But you were bending the branch
And breaking the rest

I can smell it now
I can taste the turn
A little too soft
A little too burned

[Chorus]
Bad apple, bad apple
You went bad too soon
Bad apple, bad apple
I had to cut you loose

I have been a good woman to you
I have been a good woman to you
Maybe someday you'll be a good man
But for someone else

[Verse 2]
You looked all shiny
In that grocery light
But rot hides quiet
Till it bites

I washed off the dust
I sliced through the blame
Found the bitter center
Under the name

I don't need your sorry
I don't need your spin
Once the heart turns sour
It don't turn back in

[Pre-Chorus]
I gave you clean chances
I gave you my best
But you were bending the branch
And breaking the rest

I can smell it now
I can taste the turn
A little too soft
A little too burned

[Chorus]
Bad apple, bad apple
You went bad too soon
Bad apple, bad apple
I had to cut you loose

I have been a good woman to you
I have been a good woman to you
Maybe someday you'll be a good man
But for someone else

[Bridge]
Take your little apology
And carry it home
Some fruit is for sharing
And some grow alone

I won't let it spoil
What I still got right
I can leave that basket
And sleep tonight

[Final Chorus]
Bad apple, bad apple
You went bad too soon
Bad apple, bad apple
I had to cut you loose

I have been a good woman to you
I have been a good woman to you
Maybe someday you'll be a good man
But for someone else

Bad apple, bad apple
Yeah, I said what I said
Bad apple, bad apple
Now go ahead and be fed

I have been a good woman to you
I have been a good woman to you
Maybe someday you'll be a good man
But for someone else
