Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come check it and see
There´s something burning and rolling in me
We may not last but we´ll have fun till it ends
Come on baby be my bad boyfriend
I want to hear you call out my name
I want to see you burn up in flames
Come on baby be my bad boyfriend
So ripe so sweet come suck it and see
But watch out daddy I sting like a bee
I know some tricks I swear will give you the bends
Come on baby be my bad boyfriend
My fever´s rising you ran into luck
Say what sugar ?
You want to get what?
I´m want to give you one hundred and ten
Come on baby be my bad boyfriend
It´s wild the way you tease me
It´s wild the way you free me
It´s wild the way you reach me
Wrapped me up in your wire from the start
You´ve got the women waiting in line
I´m not asking you to make up your mind
But I can make you happy at least now and then
I´ve got something special for my bad boyfriend
If you can´t love me honey go on just pretend
I´ve saved something special for the very end
If you can´t love me honey go on just pretend
Come on baby be my bad boyfriend
