So good to be bad
Getting what I want, boy
Why does that make you so mad?
You see, why does it feel so good?
So good to be bad
'Cause if it's trouble that you're looking for
Oh baby, here I am
I said why does it feel so good?
So good to be bad (Bad)
I say why does it feel so good?
So good to be bad
Getting what I want, boy
Why does that make you so mad?
You see, why does it feel so good?
So good to be bad
'Cause if it's trouble that you're looking for
Oh baby, here I am (I am)
Oh baby, here I am
I say why does it feel so good?
