Mama
Remember how you warned me that he would only hurt me?
Remember how I didn't listen then, wasn't listening?

Mama
You said I shouldn't see him, said I didn't need him
Said "A boy like that is gonna take your heart just to break your heart"
Told me from the start he would break my heart

And I guess I was a bad girl
But you just never understood
How the lovin' of that bad boy
Made your bad girl feel so good

I'd sneak out my window
We'd meet in the night
Deep in the darkness
He knew how to love me so right

Mama, ooh, he was a wild one
And, ooh, I was a child once
But I will never be a child again
After lovin' him, ohh, not after lovin' him

Mama
I never knew a boy's touch could ever teach me so much
All those nights you didn't understand I was in good hands

Mama
If I would have listened, the kissin' I'd be missin'!
I tell you you were wrong as you could be
He's still here with me

Sneakin' out my window
We meet in the night
Deep in the darkness
He knows how to love me so right

Mama
Ooh, that boy's touch, need it so much
Mama
Ooh, that wild one, need to feel him
Mama
Ooh, that bad boy, he gives me such joy
Mama
I'm such a bad girl, he gives me such joy
Mama
