In the back of a taxi cab
One quick turn you were on my lap, we
Touched hands and we pulled them back
Yeah, I want you bad
And even though it should be so wrong, I
Can't help but feel this strong, cause
The way you turn me on
Like a light switch
I might just go crazy
Cause you're my best friend's baby
But you got me thinking maybe, just maybe
I don't know what to do
I'm in love with someone else's girl, you
Rock my world
But you're the one that I can't have
Girl, I want you bad
In my crazy mind
I'm with ya all the time
Cause you're the best that I never had
Oh, girl, I want you bad
Oh, oh, oh oh, ohhh
Oh, oh, oh, ohhh
Oh, oh, oh, ohhh
I want you bad
So hard to just pretend
It sucks
You his girl and he's my friend, no
Good way for this to end, yeah
I want you bad
I wish someone could help me
This is just so unhealthy
And everything you got just kills me
Goin guilty
Go crazy
Cause you're my best friend's baby
But you got me thinking maybe, just maybe
I don't know what to do
I'm in love with someone else's girl, you
Rock my world
But you're the one that I can't have
Girl, I want you bad
In my crazy mind
I'm with you all the time
Cause you're the best I never had
Oh, girl I want you bad
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhh
Oh, oh, oh, ohhh
Oh, oh, oh, ohhh
I want you bad
I want you, I want you
I want you, I want you
I want you, I want you
I want you bad
(I want you bad!)
I want you, I want you
I want you, I want you
I want you, I want you
I want you
I might just go crazy
Cause you're my best friend's baby
But you got me thinking maybe, just maybe
I don't know what to do
I'm in love with someone else's girl, you
Rock my world
But you're the one that I can't have
Girl, I want you bad
In my crazy mind
I'm with you all the time
Cause you're the best I never had
Oh, girl, I want you bad
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhh
Oh, oh, oh, ohhh
Oh, oh, oh, ohhh
I want you bad
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh
Oh, girl, I want you bad
