When you believe in a feeling,
It's holding you back from my love,
Then you've got it bad girl, you've got it bad girl

When you insist on excluding
The tenderness that's in my kiss,
Then you've got it bad girl, you've got it bad girl

If you try to display an emotion,
That will contradict itself,
You will find your heart just sitting
Like a statue on a shelf, on a shelf, on a shelf

Should you depend on an outlet,
Through which an escape can be found,
Then you've got it bad girl, you've got it bad girl

If you don't see there's no way out,
Just no way of getting around me,
Then you've got it bad girl, you've got it bad girl

Yes, you know the plans I am making,
Are intended to capture you,
So you practice false reactions,
To delay the things I do, the things I do,
Things I do, foolish you, hey

You've got it bad girl, you've got it bad girl, mmm mmm yeah yeh
You've got it bad girl, you've got it bad girl

There's no reward in detouring
My deep sincerity
Especially since what you're feeling,
Is perfectly clear to me, clear to me, clear to me

Before you discover the feeling,
You've tried very hard to hide,
Then you've got it bad girl, you've got it bad girl

But when you can find just a small space,
To let my love live in your mind,
Then you'll have it good girl, you'll have it good girl
You'll have it good girl,
You'll have it good, you'll have it good, you'll have it good, you'll have it good girl
You'll have it good girl, have
Have it good, have it good, you'll have it good, you'll have it good, baby baby
