I'm a bad girl, bad as I can be Yes, I'm a bad girl, just as bad as I can be I don't know what's the matter, trouble always follows me I killed myself a black cat just the night before Sprinkled little goofy dust all around my door Hoping I'd chase some people away But when the dawn appeared, I had the devil to pray I'm just a bad girl, but Lord knows I don't mean to be You told me lots of stories, said that you'd be good But I just found out daddy that you wouldn't if you could I'm tired of your driving, don't want you anymore My doors are wide open and it means you've got to go I've been a bad girl, but Lord knows I didn't mean to be Listen little Esther, you made me leave my home Know that I'm no good and everything I've done was wrong Now you're trying your best to get rid of me But I've got news for you baby, cause you'll never be free You're just a bad girl, you always gonna be You were meant for me Since it had to be Well we'll both just be plain bad I'm a bad girl
