Oh, I, I,..... I
I want to be bad, baby
I, I, I, I, I want to be bad with ya, baby

Do you
Understand what I need
From you
Just let me be the girl
To show you, you
Everything that you can be
Is everything that I can be
(I want to be) My Turn
Let me let you know that I, I can
Promise that I won't do that
So, boy, say the time and place 'cause you make me want to misbehave

::Chorus::LyricsCafe.com::
I want to be bad
You make bad look so good
I've got things on my mind
I never thought I would
I, I want to be bad
You make that feel so good
I'm losing all my cool
I'm about to break the rules
I, I want to be bad
I want to be bad with ya, baby
I, I, I, I, I want to be bad, baby

what's up?
Tell me what to do
How to be
Teach me all your words from A to Z
But I-
Don't want your other girl to see
That you're messing round with me
Should I boy
Tell ya what I got is what ya want
Tell, Tell me, do I I turn you on?
I Don't want no one judging me

::Chorus::LyricsCafe.com::
I want to be bad
You make bad look so good
I've got things on my mind
I never thought I would (never thought I would)
I, I want to be bad
You make that feel so good
I'm losing all my cool
I'm about to break the rules
I, I want to be bad

I want to be bad with ya, baby, I want to be bad with you
I want to be bad with ya, baby
I, I, I, I, I want to be bad with ya, baby
I want to be bad
I want to be bad with ya, baby
I, I, I, I want to be bad
You make bad look so good (you make bad look so good)
I got things on my mind, I never thought I would (I never thought, I never thought I would)
I want to be bad, you make that feel so good
I'm losing all my cool
I'm about to break the rules (about to break, about to break the rules)

I want to be bad, you make bad look so good
I got things on my mind, I never thought I would
I, I want to be bad, you make bad feel so good
I'm losing all my cool
I'm about to break the rules
I, I want to be bad
