Story Behind The Song
I was devastated to hear about the death of of an old friend who helped produce my first record. I started writing a twelve bar blues as a way of grieving for him. At the time I was working with Women in Theater, acting in a piece called "Bad Girls Revisited" for the Noho (North Hollywood) Performing Arts Festival. The producer asked me to come up with a theme song and
"Larry's Blues" turned into "Bad Girl Blues."
A real bad boy is to blame.

Lyrics
I'm a real bad girl, just as bad as I can be
I'm a real bad girl, just as bad as I can be
I got plenty of bad boys who want to fool around with me
If you wanna be my man you gotta love me every night
You wanna be my man you gotta love me every night
Twice on Sunday, you better do me right
Do me right
When I take you home to my little pink bungalow
When I take you home to my little pink bungalow
I'll give you such good loving, you may never wanna go
But I'm a mean hearted woman if you mess around with me
I'm a mean hearted woman don't you mess around with me
I might make you happy, or leave you in misery
Well oh well I read the news today
Well oh well I read the news today
The good die young and the bad won't go away
So I'm a real bad girl just as bad as you want me to be
I'm a bad girl, b-b-b-bad girl, mean hearted too
And I'm looking for a bad boy like you
Even bad girls need some lovin too
Come on big boy, I wanna get bad with you
