Covered by the Arctic Monkeys with Richard Hawley, the original was produced by Clay Barclay, one of the region's key "behind-the-scenes" musical figures throughout the decade. Pat Farrell is now known as singer/songwriter Pat Garrett.

Lyrics
When you left/ the house this season
You said you'd be back /in a little while
But I've been waitin'/ for such a long time
And this waitin' is driving me wild
While I wait/I think about you
Do you need me/and I'm not there
Are you planning/to be without me
Do you have a new affair
You're a bad bad woman
You're a bad bad woman
Pictures of you /keep flashing through my mind
If you would only call /if you would be so kind
When I'm imagining/ I see another man
And it's this waiting I just can't stand
You're a bad bad woman
You're a bad bad woman
You're a bad bad woman
You're a bad bad woman
