Lyrics
I WANNA BE BAD (GOOD GIRL'S GONE)
Jean Mazzei
I?m though with being nice
Where?d it ever get me
I?m through with asking twice
If you?ve got something to give me
I?ve paid too high a price
I used to be a good girl
But I wanna be bad
I wanna be bad
I?ve given up the good girl
So I can be bad
Really really bad
Good girl?s gone
I?m though with things like manners
Not to mention charm school
I?ve burned all my day planners
I party when I please
Don?t cover when I sneeze
I used to be a good girl?
I?m not the one who got a big fat butt
Sitting around waiting for Godot
I hear you calling me a big fat slut
Can?t you think of something more original?
I threw out my high heels
Unless I want to stab you
I don?t make petty deals
Watch your back cuz I might grab you
And I take what I can steal
I used to be a good girl
But I wanna be bad I wanna be bad
I?ve given up the good girl
So I can be bad - really really bad
And if you don?t like it - that?s too bad
