Bad Boys
McAuley-Schenker-Group Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Never Enough, never enough,
It's too little for me
Cry wolf, cry cry wolf,
The black sheep of the family
Give an inch, give an inch,
Always taking a mile
Lie down with the push and shove
Yeah I can make you smile

Bad boys
Never seem to care about anything
Bad boys
You don't want to mess around
Bad boys
Playin' with the girls havin' lots of fun
Bad boys
We really don't care

It's really tough, really tough
When you ain't got no money
Livin' rough is heavy stuff
Where ya gonna get your milk and honey
I want to be in the movies
See myself on the silver screen
Romeo playin' all those parts
In positions you ain't never seen

Bad boys
Never seem to care about anything
Bad boys
You don't want to mess around
Bad boys
Playin' with the girls havin' lots of fun
Bad boys
We really don't care

The kinda things we like to do
You don't want to know if it's good for you
We're so bad through and through
The same could happen
It's gonna happen to you
New York, New York city
My kinda town
But L.A. on a sunny day, wow!
When you've got the roof down
There's blonde hair everywhere
They sure have got the style
The bad boys taken everythin'
Drivin' everybody wild

Bad boys
Never seem to care about anything
Bad boys
You don't want to mess around
Bad boys
Playin' with the girls havin' lots of fun

Bad boys
We really don't care
