Bad Girl
M.I.A. feat. Missy Elliott & Rye Rye Lyrics

When the red light comes on I transform!
I become a different person when I'm performing, especially when the spotlight is on me.

Look in my eyes covered in Maybeline
My eyes are covered in Maybeline makeup and look like they're from a high-end fashion magazine.

I can be part of your deepest fantasies
I can fulfill your wildest dreams and desires.

You're the detective
You have to figure me out, like a mystery that needs to be solved.

Come solve my mystery
Come and figure me out, I'm a puzzle that needs to be pieced together.

Some say that love,is all that I'm missing
Some people think that I'm looking for love, but that's not necessarily true.

Some call it Jezebel
Some people call me a seductress or a temptress, like the Biblical character Jezebel.

I call it attention
I see it as receiving the attention I deserve for my talents and skills.

But what they don't know
People who judge me don't really know who I am.

They can't even imagine
They can't even begin to comprehend or understand me.

Say I don't have self-esteem
People think that I lack self-esteem or confidence in myself.

But its my passion
But really, my passion is what drives me to succeed and do what I love.

Maybe I'm just a (bad girl)
Maybe I'm just a naughty or rebellious girl who doesn't fit society's expectations.

I hope you looking for a
I hope you're looking for a (B-A-D C-H-I-C) bad chick.

Looking so sexy
I'm looking incredibly attractive and desirable.

Make 'em pay me
Make them pay me what I'm worth, I demand respect and value for my work.

She not me, cause there just one me
No one can replace or replicate me, I'm unique and one-of-a-kind.

I'm the M to the I double S, Y, E
I am M.I.A., the artist behind this song.

When the lights come on I tran-transform
When I'm on stage and the lights come on, I transform into a different person.

Gimme that, baby come, come on!
Give me your attention, come on and watch me perform.

I could do it all night to the break of dawn
I could perform and entertain all night long until the sun rises.

On, on, and on
I keep going and never stop.

They call me a Jezebel
People label me as a seductress or a sexually promiscuous woman.

'Cause I freaks, I does it well
Because I'm unconventional and different, and I do it well.

Got extensions in my hair
I have hair extensions to make my hair look longer and sexier.

Bad girls, is ya'll up in hurr
Bad girls are here, we're present and we're proud.

Tonight we gon' just let it do what it do
Tonight we'll just let the music play and the energy flow naturally.

I can flip this pretty young thing on you
I can make you fall for me or seduce you with my charm and beauty.

I ain't looking for attention I just want you
I'm not just craving attention, I'm looking for someone who truly wants me.

Lemme be your addiction, I can be that too
Let me be your drug of choice or your new obsession, I can fulfill that role as well.

From a caterpillar to a butterfly
I have gone through a transformation, from a plain and ordinary person to someone beautiful and exceptional.

I know I got something that you gonna like
I'm confident that I have something desirable and appealing that you'll enjoy.

Don't be afraid I won't let you down
Don't be hesitant or scared, I won't disappoint you.

I'm the one that'll make you come around
I'm the one who can persuade or convince you to like me or my music.

I can be your addiction if you wanna get hooked on me
I can be your new addiction or obsession if you want to get involved with me.
