You come back home, with a secret smile A knowing look, and another lie To blow my cool, and wreck my life You're too corrupted, and totally destructive When you've erupted, you're totally destructive (Don't drop bombs) I'd rather not have to hear about Your other girls on your expense account I know you carry on, behind my back With your secretary, you'll have a heart attack You're too corrupted, and totally destructive When you've erupted, you're totally destructive (Don't drop bombs) (Baby!) Don't drop bombs, baby, don't drop bombs Don't drop bombs, baby, don't drop bombs Just stay calm, baby, no more bombs Life with you is all ups and downs And when you're up, you're off downtown I've had enough! (Baby!) Don't tell me about your lack of restrictions Guilty records and previous convictions Or I shall start playing rough (Baby!) You're too corrupted, and totally destructive When you've erupted, you're totally destructive (Don't drop..) Don't drop bombs, baby, don't drop bombs Just stay calm, baby, no more bombs Don't drop bombs, baby, don't drop bombs Just stay calm baby, no more bombs
