She got a nasty reputation and a talent for sin
She's the kinda trouble I like to be in
I wanna be your lover
I wanna be your slav
She's the kinda women makes me wanna misbehave
So give it what you want boy
Let's make it understood
That if ya wanna be bad ya you gotta be good
She says there'll be no lying
No foolin' around
No seven day weekends
No nights on the town
Well that's the way I want it
That's the way it's gotta be
If you're looking for trouble better get it from me
So get on your knees boy and do what you should
If ya wanna be bad ya gotta be good
Let's make a night to remember
From January to December
Let's make love to excite us
A memory to ignite us
Let's make honey baby soft and tender
Let's make sugar darlin' sweet surrender
Let's make a night to remember all life long
