"I Wanna Be Bad" lyrics

"I Wanna Be Bad"

I've been dependable, reliable, walk-all-over-ruggable
Pick up on the very first ring
I always do the right thing even if it pains me
Making money I never see
Well, I've been such a good girl even in this cruel world
But what the hell's in it for me?
I need some neon lights, a drink that's Texas-sized
'Cause I'm about to lose my mind

Oh, and sometimes
I wanna go crazy
Oh, and sometimes
I wanna go maniac mad
I wanna smoke and drink and party and dance all on the floor
Maybe kiss a cowboy, maybe even more
Oh, sometimes
I wanna be bad

Well, I'm back on my bullshit
Back on the sauce
Living by the seat of my skirt
You know it's been a while
Since this girl's gone wild
'Cause all I do is work, work, work
Yeah, life with no curfews
Running on perfume
Baby, that's what I need
'Cause I'm buttoned too tight and I think I might
Just have to let 'em free

Oh, and sometimes
I wanna go crazy
Oh, and sometimes
I wanna go maniac mad
I wanna smoke and drink and party and dance all on the floor
Maybe kiss a cowboy, maybe even more
Oh, sometimes
I wanna be bad
Be bad

Well, sometimes
I wanna go crazy
Oh, and sometimes
I wanna go maniac mad
Tip a cow, shoot a round, drink tequila by the pound
Light one up, puff, pass, maybe I'll bring mooning back
Oh, sometimes I wanna be bad
Oh, and sometimes
I wanna be
Be bad
