Adams, Ryan - Bad Blood Lyrics






Baby, have to do this? I was thinking that you could be trusted
Baby, have to ruin what was shiny? Now it's all rusted
Did you have to hit me, where I'm weak? Baby, I couldn't breathe
And rub it in so deep, salt in the wound like you're laughing right at me

It's so sad to think about the good times, you and I

'Cause, baby, now we got bad blood
You know we used to have mad love
So take a look what you've done
'Cause, baby, now we got bad blood
Now we got problems
And I don't think we can solve them
You made a really deep cut
And, baby, now we got bad blood

Baby, think we'd be fine? Got scars on my back from your knife
Don't think it's in the past, these kinda wounds they always last
Did you think it all through? All these things will catch up to you
Time can heal but this won't, so if you're coming my way, just don't

It's so sad to think about the good times, you and I

'Cause, baby, now we got bad blood
You know it used to be mad love
So take a look what you've done
'Cause, baby, now we got bad blood
Now we got problems
And I don't think we can solve them
You made a really deep cut
And, baby, now we got bad blood

Band-aids don't fix bullet holes
You say sorry just for show
You live like that, you live with ghosts
You love like that blood runs cold

'Cause, baby, now we got bad blood
You know it used to be mad love
So take a look what you've done
'Cause, baby, now we got bad blood
Now we got problems
And I don't think we can solve them
You made a really deep cut
And, baby, now we got bad blood

Adams, Ryan Bad Blood Comments
  1. s.... k....

    I think it’s like so awesome how Ryan let Taylor cover this song! Not to offend people, but I think his original version is better. JMO

  2. J.... H....

    Don’t like tayler swift but like the song

  3. V.... C....

    Song still sucks

  4. L.... i....

    This is really better than the original haha i love this

  5. W.... H....

    Worst song on Swift's version but the best on Ryan's version.

  6. F.... ....

    This guy is just great no matter who he covers.

  7. D.... D....

    Taylor should cover his Love is Hell album

  8. A.... T....

    I love how he doesn't change the pronouns and it becomes a song about a gay man singing about his relationship. Brilliant.

  9. R.... J....

    So nice song my dear friend.. Ilove it😘😘😘

  10. P.... A....

    Cool music, coming back at ya from the live stream bro. Subscribed

  11. M.... G....

    And now - Irony.

  12. S.... S....

    How I feel about the writers of Game of Thrones after the atrocious dumpster fire that is Season 8.

  13. E.... ....

    I work at a coffee shop and I heard this song for the first time today. I didn't realize what it was until he started singing the main part. XD

  14. J.... F....

    Still more emotionally charged and “superior” to its original counterpart.
    <3
    ^w^

  15. K.... ....

    Covers are not an accomplishment.

  16. C.... N....

    The only way one can listen to her music without vomiting.

  17. r.... ....

    Life's crazy as fuck...essentially you wrote a song for the future and really "as an artist " never got the proper credit for it!!! You are a forerunner my friend and it's a hard pill to swallow but in the big scheme of things it's "as a true artist" the greatest honor. If I didn't explain myself correctly...Amazing Job!!!!!

  18. 9.... ....

    Screw the little teens Ryan!

    9.... ....

    Did he actually though?

  19. L.... J....

    This is just amazing!!! Its a true testament to how Ryan Adams transforms a song. I never would have known how great these lyrics were if I hadn't heard this version. Nothing against TS at all. She has a few other songs that I really like, but Ryan's versions speak to me more.

  20. J.... I....

    I LOVE this Version!!!

  21. T.... 1....

    Ryan made it his own song holy shit!

  22. M.... ....

    This is absolute garbage 🤣

  23. K.... R....

    I hope y’all know that this is the original Taylor covered him

    K.... R....

    Don't even joke about that, there are too many morons here who would jump on a chance to deny Taylor her success.

  24. A.... A....

    I like the original song

  25. m.... m....

    Taylor swift made a mockery of this song.. New generation have not a clue..

  26. L.... P....

    The only way I coul put up with Taylor Swift stuff is going through these Ryan Adams versions

  27. B.... D....

    Such a cool thing 2 do covering the whole album. Genius!

    B.... D....

    1989 looked as a non comparable album but Ryan's cover album is as good as the original. I would like Ryan to cover future albums (sadly he doesnt seem to cover rep)

  28. T.... K....

    The best cover I have ever heard in my life!!!!

  29. l.... a....

    I didn't know Taylor swift wrote such great songs until I heard Ryan sing them.

  30. J.... ....

    The background picture fits this song perfectly.

  31. V.... M....

    Дайте мне возможность поставить сразу 5000 лайков этой песне!

  32. m.... ....

    This, to me, showcases the fact that Taylor Swift is actually a pretty damn fine songwriter. Once you strip away the overblown production on her versions, the song shines all on its own.

  33. I.... B....

    This makes me want to die

  34. R.... R....

    wow.....love it

  35. M.... ....

    What tay tay could be

  36. G.... o....

    Beautiful!

  37. A.... B....

    I don't know why, but this is my favorite one <3

  38. K.... B....

    I love his versions of her songs much more.

  39. P.... M....

    kinda sucks that the comment section is only about this guy being compated to taylor or tailor whatever..... just ENJOY the song stop fighting

  40. F.... d....

    im a proud swifty but never really liked Bad Blood . this version is awesome and alouds us to apprecciete the lyrics. Thanks so much

  41. T.... W....

    I am ashamed to think I dismissed Taylor Swift as a musical lightweight simply because she is a beautiful popstar. This song, which I always thought was Ryan's, is pure genius. I am a convert. Miss Swift, please accept my humblest apologies. I was as wrong about you as a man can be.

  42. r.... g....

    a much more listenable version. Reaches out past the poppy high school demo. Excellent background.

  43. E.... C....

    i love Ryan Adams, and this made me love Taylor Swift. i doubt i would even noticed her without him.

    E.... C....

    OMG!!!!! I totally agree!!!

  44. E.... M....

    Heel veel traantjes gelaten bij het luisteren van deze prachtige cover🤗.

  45. T.... ....

    Thank you, Ryan Adams! Great cover!

    Now, how bout a sequel to either Cold Roses or Jacksonville City Nights?

  46. g.... ....

    Ryan made me start listening to Taylor Swift and liking it a lot. What I want now is them to dancing together to this cover or her original!

  47. a.... ....

    I like the original version and this one. Just because someone doesn’t share your idea of “good taste” doesn’t mean their opinion is bad. Music styles cycle in and out of popularity, and of course you’re going to think what you listened to in your youth is better but that doesn’t mean what comes out today is bad.

  48. I.... S....

    i love you

  49. I.... S....

    hi peps

  50. T.... ....

    Musicians are flattered when covered by other musicians

  51. R.... S....

    My god...imagine if they made children....

  52. A.... K....

    Just heard this on holiday thought it was u2 so surprised like it alot

  53. P.... O....

    Proof that Ryan Adams can take pop garbage and make it beautiful

  54. d.... n....

    like a salad with too much dressing. this track is drenched with reverb and overproduced

  55. A.... W....

    This version is like a classic rock and roll one off against your foe.

  56. e.... ....

    Sad Taylor swift ripped this off... she's terrible lmao

  57. n.... ....

    wow these covers are great

    I love the originals still tho

  58. C.... Z....

    Bad Blood is probably one of my least favorite songs off 1989. But I quite like it this way.

  59. C.... L....

    thank you Ryan

  60. S.... K....

    This has soul. Ryan is just amazing. I'm sorry but Taylor's pop songs are so annoying.

    I prefer her as a country singer. Her music felt real.

  61. T.... M....

    Still not a fan of the song

  62. B.... B....

    The fact of the matter is... Taylor Swift wrote it(props by the way), and Ryan Adams liked the whole album so much, he asked if he could cover it. Flattery in the first degree. If Ryan Adams is into it... Nuff said.

  63. G.... O....

    I've loved this song since I first heard it. Thought I should hear it and the rest of Swift's versions from this album. Good grief...what a let down. Oh well. Chacun à son goût

  64. A.... D....

    How did he know this shit would be perfect to cover? Fuckers brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  65. A.... R....

    a parking ticket.

  66. u.... ....

    Ryan Adams is freakin’ Gold.

  67. R.... b....

    It's nothing but the SHIT ! Wake up !

  68. S.... ....

    It was written by her and two others-and a fourth (Kendrick Lamar wrote his verse in the remix) and yes a song can suck until a different artist interprets it their way and then plays it accordingly - many artist have had songs (even hits) become more popular when another artist plays it different. That's called music.

  69. l.... w....

    he does do a great job-I like it!

  70. B.... ....

    I don't like the original but I can listen to this.
    And don't bash me, I'm fully entitled to NOT like Taylor Swift.

  71. E.... C....

    He sounds like Bono in this

  72. R.... C....

    yes, you are a really genius

  73. y.... ....

    This is hilarious, and amazing.
    I'm not a TSwift fan...just not my cuppa tea.

    Still not a fan of the song, but I do like the way Ryan sings it MUCH better.

  74. D.... S....

    guitar riff at the end sounds like Johnny Marr..

  75. C.... D....

    Maybe 5 or 10 years after she's had kids and divorced someone

  76. C.... D....

    Is he dating Taylor Swift yet ?

  77. C.... D....

    POOR thing I hope he's over it now its Mandy MOORE for Christs Sake Miss Butterworth is going to marry him tho hell finally be ok after all them lames .

  78. r.... d....

    The best sond

  79. r.... d....

    me llena el alma de paz alegría y lindos recuerdos

  80. M.... H....

    Who is Taylor Swift ? I think she was just a kitten meowing around looking for kitty titty milk when Ryan was hitting all the pussy cats y'all

  81. G.... S....

    agora sim eu vou ouvir as música da Taylor amém Ryan

  82. S.... H....

    I thought Adams was back on form when I heard this- didn't realise it was songs Taylor Swift had written- hats off to her she's a great songwriter.

  83. Z.... ....

    Why does this say anything about Taylor Swift? She didn't write Bad Blood... Dear Lord how does RyanAdamsVEVO not know this????

    ""Bad Blood" is a popular song written by Neil Sedaka and Phil Cody. The song, with uncredited backing vocals by Elton John, reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1975, remaining in the top position for three weeks."

  84. R.... B....

    bad blood is basic math..you make the wrong decision and all changes

  85. t.... t....

    Defo can hear the U2 influence here

  86. S.... F....

    Hope Ryan does the same to THE CHILD by URBAN SEASCAPE.

  87. t.... H....

    Is it wrong that i like his verison better than the original?

    t.... H....

    No I feel the same way

  88. L.... V....

    It's a better arrangement.

  89. G.... ....

    this version is better imo

  90. S.... P....

    Grocery stores play this song

  91. R.... R....

    Ryan Adams impression of Bruce Springsteen is the most amaizing thing EVER . I totaly can see mr Springsteen singing Bad Blood in the 80 s OMG so good, so fine .I m like 20 times now listen to this

  92. R.... C....

    The guitar at the start reminds me of "Lucky Man" by The Verve

  93. J.... C....

    Ryan takes Taylor's songs and makes them listenable and enjoyable. Just watch she don't write a song about you stealing hers

  94. I.... V....

    Ryan really fuckin went down a few points in my book for doing this whole album

  95. R.... ....

    Taylor Swift shit....Ryan Adams hit !
