Bad Girl
Will Matla Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She's kissing me and holds me tight
And locks me down, the hurt will bite
And she prepares to step aside
Like a shark that shows its fin
When she comes around troubles closing in
I'd better be a little afraid
A bad girl is hard to please
I got to go down on my knees
A bad girl don't treat me right
She ruin my life she can make me cry
Now the rumour is all over town
About that crazy new love she found
Some of these days I'll make her mine
She can run but she can't hide
A bad girl is on my mind
She hurts my pride, hurts me deep inside
Love means nothing but a phrase
Something we have had, now it's gone away
Like a shark that shows its fin
When she comes around troubles closing in
I'd better be a little afraid
Bad girls like to play
Now the rumour is all over town
About that crazy new love she found
Some of these days I'll make her mine
She can run but she can't hide
A bad girl is on my mind
She's kissing me and she holds me tight
Then locks me down the hurt will bite
Bad girl on my mind
Still on my mind
Hurts me deep inside
Bad girl
