Well, I take what I want
I'm a bad go-getter, yeah, that`s what I am
I never lose and I ain't no quitter yet
'Cos I take what I want, and baby, I want you
Well, I've been watching you walk by
And I have not said a word, not one word
But now I'm out to get you, baby
And I'm gonna make you my girl, my loving girl
'Cos I take what I want and baby I want you
Gonna pick you up now baby
And carry you away
So you`d better pack up now baby
Pack it up today
Well here I am, I'm just a big bad man
When I walk away baby
You'll be holding my hand
I take what I want
Well, I'm a bad go-getter, yeah
Yeah.
I never lose and I ain't no quitter yet
'Cos I take what I want
And baby, I want you
Whoa, all right
Gonna pick you up now baby
And carry you away. (yes I am)
So you'd better pack up now baby
Pack it up today
Well, here I am, I'm just a big bad man
When I walk away baby
You'll be holding my hand
I take what I want
Well, I'm a bad go-getter yeah
I never lose and I ain't no quitter yet
'Cos I take what I want
And baby, I want you
Whoa
