Bad

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I've been the token woman all my life

The token daughter and the token wife

Now I collected tokens one by one

'til I've saved enough to buy a gun

Now you can't get even but you can get mad

And it's not funny no and it's not sad

It's just a feeling that I've always had

Oh look out world I'm about to be bad

I want a brief encounter in a stolen car

A hand on my buttock in a spanish bar

I want to meet the man who wants to go too far

For a token of my affection

I want to taste excitement

Smell the danger

Get swept off my feet by the perfect stranger

I want to try something that I've never had

Oh look out world I'm about to be bad

I've been an awful woman all my life

A dreadful daughter and a hopeless wife

And I've had my eye on that carving knife

Oh you've been lucky so far

I'm not crazy no I'm just mad

I don't want to be sorry

No I want to be glad

It's just a feeling inside that I have always had

So look out world I'm about to be bad
