[Intro: Gabe Saporta]
I make them good girls go bad
I make them good girls go
Good girls go bad
Good girls go bad

[Verse 1: Gabe Saporta]
I know your type (Your type)
Yeah, daddy's little girl
Just take a bite (One bite)
Let me shake up your world
'Cause just one night couldn't be so wrong
I'm gonna make you lose control

[Pre-Chorus: Gabe Saporta]
She was so shy
'Til I drove her wild

[Chorus 1: Gabe Saporta]
I make them good girls go bad
I make them good girls go bad
You were hanging in the corner with your five best friends
You heard that I was trouble, but you couldn't resist
I make them good girls go bad
I make them good girls go
Good girls go bad, bad, bad
Good girls go bad (Bad, bad, bad)
Good girls go

[Verse 2: Flo Rida]
Hey, just cus' what I do I does

Daddys little girl, have her working that bag
Turn a [?] to a late-night brat
She be down for whatever cus' my pockets full of cash
They'll want it in the club, never getting enough
Steady falling in love, flip around I'll be the drug
She walk that, talk that, [?] I top that
[?] wow, to the [?] when I walk [?]
Get really nervous, for lip service
Act kinky and got [?]
Refurbished, met the surgeon
Long story on the [?] she suburban

[Pre-Chorus: Gabe Saporta]
She was so shy
'Til I drove her wild

[Chorus 2: Gabe Saporta, Leighton Meester]

I make them good girls go
Good girls go bad, bad, bad
Good girls go bad (Bad, bad, bad)

[Bridge: Gabe Saporta, Leighton Meester]
Oh, she got a way with the boys in the place
Treat 'em like they don't stand a chance
And he got a way with the girls in the back
Actin' like they too hot to dance
Yeah, she got a way with the boys in the place
Treat 'em like they don't stand a chance
And he got a way with the girls in the back
Actin' like they too hot to dance

I make them good girls go bad
I make them good girls go
Them good girls go bad, yeah!

[Outro: Gabe Saporta, Leighton Meester]
I was hanging in the corner with my five best friends
I heard that you were trouble, but I couldn't resist
I make them good girls go bad
I make them good girls go bad
I make them good girls go
Good girls go bad, bad, bad
Good girls go bad (Bad, bad, bad)
Good girls go (Bad)

Cobra Starship was an American dance-pop band originating from New York City. The band originally started as a solo project by frontman Gabe Saporta, previously of Midtown. Saporta has embezzled that the idea of Cobra Starship was formed after Saporta went on a vision quest in the Arizona deserts and began building the idea for a synthpop band, however he has stated in the past that this was just a joke.

The band started off when Saporta posted a parody of Gwen Stefani’s “Hollaback Girl” titled “Hollaback Boy”, which become popular on the internet. This eventually led to Cobra Starship being signed to Decaydance Records, an imprint of Fueled By Ramen owned by Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz.

The band’s 2006 debut album While The City Sleeps, We Rule The Streets was all written, recorded, and co-produced by Saporta, with production help from Ryland Blackinton and Alex Suarez, who at the time were both writing music for This Is Ivy League. The two of them joined the band shortly after the debut was released. The song “Snakes On A Plane (Bring It)”, which was included on the album, was written for the 2006 film Snakes On A Plane and became a minor hit. The song featured the vocal talents of Maja Ivarsson of The Sounds, William Beckett of The Academy Is… and Travie McCoy of Gym Class Heroes. Beckett also helped co-wrote the single.
