I’m a bad, bad, boy
And I’m gonna steal your love
Said I’m a bad, bad, boy
And I’m gonna steal your love
Come take me to your house
Then I’m gonna rip you off
Well I made my first kill
With the old town girl
She was the apple of her daddy’s eye
Well that woman looked up at me
And I said honey we’ll be
Together ’till the day I die
But I lied
I’m a bad, bad, boy
And I’m gonna steal your love
I’m a bad, bad, boy
And I’m gonna steal your love
Come take me to your house
Then I’m gonna rip you off
There seems to be no end
Of women who are lookin’ for a man
My services don’t come cheap
But I help out when I can
Tell them lies that they wanna hear
And I really lead em on
Spend all of their money
And I’m long, gone
I’m a bad, bad, boy
And I’m gonna steal your love
I’m a bad, bad, boy
And I’m gonna steal your love
Come take me to your house
Then I’m gonna rip you off

I’ve got tastes for fast cars
I don’t wanna settle down
The good life sure come s easily
With all the mugs around
The women they just come to me
I don’t have to look around
I move into their homes with them
Then I move on
I’m a bad, bad, boy
And I’m gonna steal your love
I’m a bad, bad, boy
I’m gonna steal your love
Come take me to your house
Then I’m gonna rip you off
I’m a bad, bad, bad, bad, bad,bad, bad, bad, bad,bad,bad, bad, boy
I’m bad, I’m bad, I’m bad, I’m such a, such a bad, bad boy
I’m gonna rip you off
Just take control of your mind
I’m a bad, bad, boy
I’m gonna steal your love
I’m a bad, bad, boy
I’m gonna steal your love
I’m gonna rip you off
Just take control of the time
I’m a bad, bad,bad,bad,bad
You know I’m a bad boy
I’m so bad…..
