Bad woman, mad woman
Satisfy the man
Bad woman, mad woman

Every time that I see lovers
Look into each other's eyes
I realize the best of my life was you
Now I live here with the blues
Of what we put each other through
Girl, we let good love blow away like sand

Bad woman, mad woman
Sleepless nights I call your name
You're the only one
To ever satisfy the man
Bad woman, mad woman
Sleepless nights I see your face
Girl, I reach for you
But only touch in space

Hurry, now your plane is leaving
I'm not a fool in believing
You won't be there
Waitin' on the other side
Girl, I've had love and laughter
It's your love that I'm after
Two wrongs never make it right

Love will heal us
Love will make it right

Bad woman, mad woman
Sleepless nights I call your name
You're the only one
To ever satisfy the man
Bad woman, mad woman
Sleepless nights I'll see your face
Girl, I reach for you
But only touch in space

Hurry, now your plane is leaving
I'm not a fool in believin'
That you won't be there
Waitin' on the other side
Girl, I've had love and laughter
It's your love that I'm after
Two wrongs never make it right

Bad woman, mad woman
Sleepless nights I call your name
You're the only one
To ever satisfy the man
Bad woman, mad woman
Sleepless nights I'll see your face
Girl, I reach for you
But only touch in space

Bad woman, mad woman
Sleepless nights I'll call your name
'Cause you're the only one to satisfy the man
Bad woman, mad woman
You know, each night I reach for you
When you're not there
And I wonder where you are

Bad woman, mad woman, yeah
Each night I'll call your name
And I wonder where you are
Bad woman, mad woman, bad woman

I will reach for you every night
Shed a tear in the middle of the night
Feel around, look around, but you're not there
You're not there, anywhere to be found
You bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad woman

Bad, bad, bad woman, bad woman
Satisfy the man...

Kool & the Gang is an American jazz, R&B, soul, funk, and disco group from Jersey City. They were originally named the Jazziacs when they formed the group in 1964.

They went through several musical phases during their recording career, starting out with a purist jazz sound, then funk and R&B, progressing to a smooth pop-funk ensemble, and in the post-millennium creating music with a modern, electro-pop sound.

The group was becoming prominent in the music industry in the 1970s with hits such as “Holly Wood Swinging”, “Jungle Boogie” and “Summer Madness”. However they cemented their legendary status after the addition of lead vocalist James “J.T.” Taylor. With his help they went on to create classic hits such as “Ladies Night”, “Celebration”, “Get Down On It”, “Cherish” and countless others.
