A big, bad wolf's blowing through this town
Lock your doors tonight
A big, bad wolf's blowing through this town
Lock your doors up tight
There ain't nothing I won't try
When they say big, they mean big like citywide
On a flat-black bastard motorbike
He got a sweet tooth for little girls
On a flat-black bastard motorbike
He got a sweet tooth for little girls
There ain't nothing I won't try
When they say big, they mean big like citywide
Every guy in that town wants a piece of my hide
And that chick I seen you with
Is about to leave this joint with me
Just put my name in lights
Big - like citywide
Tie 'em down, lock 'em up - never stop the show
Tie 'em down, lock 'em up - never stop the show
Reputations have sharp teeth
And you're the only thing looking good enough to eat
Every guy in that town wants a piece of my hide
And that chick I seen you with
Is about to leave this joint with me
Just put my name in lights
Big - like citywide
