[Verse 1]
If you could only read my mind
You would know that things between us ain't right
I know your arms are open wide
But you're a little on the straight side, I can't lie
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Your one vice
Is you're too nice
Come around now, can't you see?
[Chorus 1]
I want you, all tattooed
I want you bad
Complete me, mistreat me
I want you to be bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
[Verse 2]
If you could only read my mind
You would know that I've been waiting so long
For someone almost just like you
But with attitude, I'm waiting, so come on
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Get out of clothes time
Grow out those highlights
Come around now, can't you see?
[Chorus 2]
I want you, in a vinyl suit
I want you bad
Complicated, x-rated
I want you bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
Bad
[Bridge]
Don't get me wrong
I know you're only being good
But that's what's wrong
I guess I just misunderstood
[Chorus 3]
I want you, all tattooed
I want you bad
Complicated, x-rated
I want you bad
[Outro]
I mean it, I need it
I want you bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
Bad, really, really bad
If you could only read my mind
You would know that things between us ain't right
I know your arms are open wide
But you're a little on the straight side, I can't lie
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Your one vice
Is you're too nice
Come around now, can't you see?
[Chorus 1]
I want you, all tattooed
I want you bad
Complete me, mistreat me
I want you to be bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
[Verse 2]
If you could only read my mind
You would know that I've been waiting so long
For someone almost just like you
But with attitude, I'm waiting, so come on
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Get out of clothes time
Grow out those highlights
Come around now, can't you see?
[Chorus 2]
I want you, in a vinyl suit
I want you bad
Complicated, x-rated
I want you bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
Bad
[Bridge]
Don't get me wrong
I know you're only being good
But that's what's wrong
I guess I just misunderstood
[Chorus 3]
I want you, all tattooed
I want you bad
Complicated, x-rated
I want you bad
[Outro]
I mean it, I need it
I want you bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
Bad, really, really bad
