Waitress Cast - Bad Idea Lyrics

Can we just have a round of applause for the people in the back?! That takes serious Skill! 👌👏👏👌

0:29 I’m obsessed with how she says doctor

"I've been outta sight
I've been worried 'bout you lately
Runnin' outta time
Wishin' you would come and save me
'Cause I don't wanna roll with it (Yeah, yeah)
Tryna get control of it (Yeah, yeah)
Why can't I let go of it? (Yeah, yeah)
Gotta find somebody quickly (Mmm, yeah)
I got a bad idea
How 'bout we take a little bit of time away?
I got a bad idea
Forget about it, yeah, forget about him, yeah
Forget about me
I got a bad idea
Yeah, I'ma call you over here to numb the pain
I got a bad idea
Forget about it, yeah, forget about him, yeah
Forget about me
Even though we shouldn't, baby boy, we will (You know we will)
Need somebody, gimme something I can feel (Yeah)
But, boy, don't trip (Don't trip), you know this isn't real
You should know I'm temporary
'Cause I don't wanna roll with it (Yeah, yeah)
Tryna get control of it (Yeah, yeah)
Why can't I let go of it? (Yeah, yeah)
Gotta find I got a bad idea
How 'bout we take a little bit of time away?
I got a bad idea
Forget about it, yeah, forget about him, yeah
Forget about me
I got a bad idea
Yeah, I'ma call you over here to numb the pain
I got a bad idea
Forget about it, yeah, forget about him, yeah
Forget about me
Gotta get control of it
Why can't I let go of it? (Ooh)
Wishin' you would come and save me
Yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah somebody quickly (Yeah)
I got a bad idea (Uh-huh)
How 'bout we take a little bit of time away? (Are you done?)
I got a bad idea (Uh-huh)
Forget about it, yeah, forget about him, yeah
Forget about me (Are you done?)
I got a bad idea (Uh-huh)
Yeah, I'ma call you over here to numb the pain (Are you done?)
I got a bad idea (Uh-huh)
Forget about it, yeah, forget about him, yeah
Forget about me (Are you done?)
Yeah (Uh-huh)
Forget about it, yeah, forget about him, yeah
Forget about me (Are you done?)
(Uh-huh)
Forget about it, yeah, forget about him, yeah
Forget about me
I got a bad idea
How 'bout we take a little bit of time away?
I got a bad idea
Forget about it, yeah, forget about him, yeah
Forget about me

That's the wrong one

So I'm late to the party but... HELP I CAN'T STOP WATCHING THIS IT'S ON REPEAT CONSTANTLY HELP

Wow he is such a good actor, his expressions looked so real!

It’s been 3 weeks since Waitress closed and I’m still here watching these videos lol

i love how the ensemble turns away in the ending HAHAHA

I kinda feel bad for the poor ensemble who have to turn their backs at the very end 😂😂

that “i need a bad idea” HITS DIFFERENT

And I oop

Oooooooo





Someone's having an affair

Literally the best show I've ever seen.

drew gehling has so far stayed my favorite at hitting that one run by far!

Veronica before dead girl walking

Does anyone notice that Lulu was extremely lucky not to have birth defects after all that 🤭

I just love the music and lyrics to this show!

drew gehling can Get it

On a normal day this song makes me feel emotions I cannot describe. Today I watched the choreography and I’m feeling tears running down my face good god this musical is going to be the death of me

Tag yourself, Im the people clapping in the back

Try to spot charity in the background

Watching the line of people in the back 😂😂😂

This choreo tho

Catchy song, fucked up situation when you think about it though. They both married cheating on their husband/wife one is pregnant the other is the doctor of the girl.

I can’t express how much I love this song

nobody is talking about the ensemble in the background so I will.... i love them

One of my favourite things about this is the ensemble choreo, so flawless

Idk why but I watch this everyday

Saw waitress with my school it was amazing but when it got to the bad idea reprise seeing my teachers faces was one of the most awkward things

I love this song

The people clapping in the background are giving me I believe in Spring awakening vibes anyone else

Am I too late to hop on this train? Because I'm in love

“”Hold me close while I think this through”
**SNAP SNAP SNAP
CAMERA SOUNDS**

[Chorus: Sara Bareilles]
It's a bad idea me and you
It's a bad idea me and you
I've never known anything so true
It's a terrible idea me and you

[Verse 1: Sara Bareilles, Jason Mraz & Both]
You have a wife
You have a husband
You're my doctor!
You've got a baby coming
It's a bad idea me and you
Let's just keep kissing till we come to

[Pre-Chorus: Both]
Heart stop racing let's face it making mistakes like this
Will make worse what was already pretty bad
Mind stop running it's time we just let this thing go
It was a pretty good bad idea
Wasn't it though

[Chorus: Both]
It's a bad idea me and you
It's a bad idea me and you
It's a bad idea me and you
Hold me close while I think this through
Umm....
Hmm........yeah
Yeah, it's a very poor idea me and you


[Verse 2: Sara Bareilles, Jason Mraz & Both]
I've got a wife
I've got a husband
I'm your doctor
My dumb baby's coming
It's a bad idea me and you
Maybe one more kiss will make us come to

[Pre-Chorus: Both]
Heart stop racing let's face it making mistakes like this
Will make worse what was already pretty bad
Mind stop running it's time we just let this thing go
It was a pretty good bad idea
Wasn't it though

[Bridge: Both]
I know what's right for me
It's the only thing I've ever done
What if I never see
Myself ever be anything more than what I've already become

[Post-Bridge: Both]
I need a bad idea
I need a bad idea
I need a bad idea
I need a bad idea
Just one

[Outro: Both]
Heart keep racing let's make mistakes let us say so what
And make worse what was already pretty bad
This secret is safe
No reason to throw it away
When there's love to be had
Hold me tight as I tell myself that you might make sense
And make good what has been just so bad
Let's see this through
It's a pretty good bad idea
Me and you

Jenna's kid: "mummy what were you like when you were younger?"
Jenna: "well..."

moment of appreciation for the amazing ensemble

this would never happen irl... a doctor and a waitress?

I love when the background singers/dancers come out, just like a bunch of little instigators.

Ummm, pretty sure a doc can’t do that...😆

Congratulate me guys.... I've just memorized the ensemble's choreography HAHAHAHHAHAHA

THEIR CHEMISTRY IS UNREAL

It’s nice of the creepy watchers to respectfully turn around before they do it

Love this

I want to see this show live so bad but I’m pretty sure I won’t before it closes up shop 😭😭😭

you can *taste* the sexual tension

🕳🚕💨. Whooops that was a bad idea

drew gehling IS insane and i cant seem to see anybody else as dr pomatter. peridot.

I saw David Hunter in the West End prod and he was stellar too!

I love how Jessie says “ you’re my DAWKtor”

Just posted a cover of this on my channel please check it out :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSJa7y-UG1w

Jessie Mueller and Drew Gehling were my favourite Jenna and Dr Pomater. They’re both such amazing singers and actors, and their voices sound so beautiful together. They also bring humour and real character into this song, I find. So sad that I’ll never be able to see them perform this live 😭😭😭

TBH every person who played doctor pom pom and Jenna are amazing 🖤🥧

My bisexuality is screaming

For real

I wish they kept this choreo!! So many little details that really made a difference

They didn't?

Love this song but sometimes it feels like a tamer version of dead girl walking 😂😂😂

Can we all appreciate drew's hand after jessie kisses him at 3:08

It's the only thing I can look at.

omfg the way he grabs her and pulls her to the edge of the table, i need my inhaler

this is truly just the best version

I just said out loud to myself at 12 am "Wow, I love adultery" 😭

@Tamanna Das Waitress will do that to you

I’m pretty sure Earl watched this 102 times on separate accounts and disliked it every time

ok low key excited to see jeremy and shoshana do this and i don’t know why???

If only Jeremy had a version of this I could see

EF. I HATE CHEATING, BUT THIS SHIT'S HOT!

The bisexual in me comes out when I want to sing this song with both of them

Yesss same!

She sounds fantastic in this

When does she not

I’m doing this in my school

Feel blessed that they got rid of the random choreography in the back. Its like uncomfortable that they're watching them get it on.

Those background dancers (clappers) are now my favorite people everrrrrr

When it sounds very close to the soundtrack, you know they good

Broadway training

omg..... everything is so good...... the essemble <3 <3

After watching this about 50 times, now I notice that Drew kinda messes up the choreo a little at 2:14 by walking to soon lol

their chemistry oof

Jessie mueller is so amazing, if them two dated in real life I would spend my whole day shipping them

Happy Valentine's day I'm still lonely!~♡

Their voices just blend so well. I love this song so much.

I love this song. The chemistry between them is great. They sing it so well too.

um focusing on drew gehling during this video was a bad idea in and of itself because he is very handsome

Bad idea: *insert Jared saying hot*
Bad idea reprise: *insert Jared saying kinky*

*When you belt so hard you go into labor*

I'm a bit disappointed that the show changed the choreography so much. This one had some really cute moments, like when they each grab the wrong item and when the doctor is grabbing Jenna's breast and she yanks his hand away, but changes her mind and pulls her his hand toward her crotch. I do really like that they added a bit later where he yanks off his uniform. It's hilarious. But I always come back here to watch these cuties reaching for their items, grabbing the wrong ones, and then literally throwing them aside.

The wrong item choreography is soo good! And them jumping on the table at the same time after I Need A Bad Idea is also missing in the final choreo! I think Jenna jumps first and the Doctor joins later. But the doctor struggling with his coat is really good too. I still prefer this choreo more.

Haha the guy pushing the piano

Uhh, why did they move half the band?

I'm back here after watching Kimmy Schimdt and seeing Drew show up (I cried)

This a great Act 1 ender!!!

Take a moment to acknowledge how beautifully satisfying the ensemble's contagions are

Thank you, that is all

A friend brought me here. Yes, we are gonna fuck and yes, that is a bad idea.

1:23 is me in the background when my OTP is actually going through sexual tension

I saw the most beautiful thing that I ever saw and I'm so fucking loving this performance

I'm so lucky I have a friend obsessed with this musical

The melodies in 1:45 kill me each time

Woooah😣

It must get awkward performing this basically twice in a day or more than once weekly

I mean they are just performing, but the movement are pretty sensual

the first tile i heard this i thought the lyric was “you’re my baby cousin” and not “you have a baby coming” and oml i freaked out

Anyone have a good quality bootleg with this cast?

Two years since it released it's still my top song. That struggle and passion.

Dude wearing green in the back is so intense here

This is actually amazing the singing, the chemistry, the choreo it's all so perfect 💕 💕

Jessie Mueller is so pretty I'm dyingggggg

i... absolutely adored every single second of that.

Is anyone else just as taken with the subtle choreography as they are with the song?
The ensemble just adds an excellent touch to all of these songs!
