From the recording Bad Spell ( plus bonus track)
Follow up to the album ‘Best of Live’, Bad Spell is a breath of fresh air in the sea of sameness and a powerful footnote to these times where people’s lives have undergone so much change. From the moment Lawrence sings “Oh…baby” you know where she is headed and the band and the arrangement support her the whole way through 4 minutes 31 seconds of ‘Bad Spell’ reflections without faltering. The new arrangement features additional guitar work by Hostetler and Tony Saracene. The song originally appeared on the album ‘Hard Daze’. Karen Lawrence, Blue By Nature's driving force, is a dynamic performer and prolific songwriter.

Lyrics
Bad Spell (Karen Lawrence)
Oh baby I got a hole in my heart
Oh baby I got a hole in my heart
Feels like a solitary cell
Deep as any well since we’re apart
Oh baby I got to make you believe me
Oh baby how can I make you believe me
There weren’t no crime I done
You’re still the only one can please me
Oh baby baby come back to me
Oh baby say you’re forgiven me
I was just caught up in bad spell
Only your love will release me
I remember that night like it was yesterday
It cut deep as a knife the things I heard you say
Baby what do I do now – I walk ‘round in a daze
You know I want you back any kind of way
Oh baby I got a hole in my heart
Oh baby you put a hole in my heart
I feel my time slip away
I’ll be calling your name when I depart
performed by Karen Lawrence and Blue By Nature
