Want You 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.
If you could only read my mind
You would know that things between us
Ain't right
I know your arms are open wide
But you're a little on the straight side
I can't lie
Your one vice
Is you're too nice
Come around now, can't you see?
I want you
All tattooed
I want you bad
Complete me
Mistreat me
I want you to be bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
If you could only read my mind
You would know that I've been waiting
So long
For someone almost just like you
But with attitude, I'm waiting, so come on
Get out of clothes time
Grow out those highlights
Come around now, can't you see?
I want you
In a vinyl suit
I want you bad
Complicated
X-rated
I want you bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
Bad
Don't get me wrong
I know you're only being good
But that's what's wrong
I guess I just misunderstood
I want you
All tattooed
I want you bad
Complicated
X- rated
I want you bad
I mean it
I need it
I want you bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
Bad
Really, really bad
