Bad baby you're bad for me
So bad why do I have to be
Hangin on, hangin on
Hangin on, hangin on
Like a cat on a fence
I would runaway, runaway
Runaway, run away
Now if I had any sense
You're bad
Too bad I need you so
So bad kiss me till
I don't know
Where I am
Who I am
What I am
When I am
Hold you through the night
Maybe roam, maybe roam
Maybe roam, maybe roam
But it feels so right
You take my love
But you don't leave me
You'll walk away one day
You leave me sad
Dying is sad
Please how many nights
Have I with you
Before you say goodbye
Hangin' on, hangin' on
Hangin' on, hangin' on
For now I pretend
And again, and again
And again, and again
I'm a fool to the end
You're bad
Hey you're bad, you'll take my love
But you don't leave me
Bad, you'll walk away one day
You leave me bad
Why do you always try to hurt me
So bad
