Born To Be Bad

Pam Sawyer, Ivy Jo Hunter

[Intro]
Well, well, well, well, baby

[Verse 1]
Don't judge a book by its cover
Don't tell me I'm good (So good), so fine
Said I was raised in the streets, in the gutter
Don't let your love for me blind your eyes

[Pre-Chorus]
You say you see in me, little girl
What your loving eyes want to see
For your own good, little darling
You shouldn't walk, you should run from me

[Chorus]
'Cause I was born to be bad
I had to fight for everything I had
Girl, I was born to be bad (Baby)
Loving me will only make you sad
Oh, yeah (Uh-huh)
Oh, baby

[Verse 2]
Said I've been kicked and downtrodden
It's so hard out there in the street
You gotta bow down to people surroundin'
And you ain't even got a bitе to eat

[Pre-Chorus]
Though I won't give up success
For thе dream-shattered world you built
I can't do the things you asked
'Til I'm on top and I'm blessed [?]

[Chorus]
'Cause I was born to be bad
I had to fight for everything I had
Girl, I was born, born to be bad (Baby)
Loving me will only make you sad
Oh, yeah (Uh-huh)
Yeah

[Bridge]
Said I'm out in the streets, baby (Out in the streets, babe)
Ain't got nothing to eat, no, no
Hey, baby

[Chorus]
Oh, I was born to be bad (Baby)
I had to fight for everything I've had
Girl, I was born, born to be bad (Baby)
Loving me would only make you sad

[Outro]
But I love you (Love you), oh how I love you (I love you)
Oh baby, I love you (He was)
Born, yeah (Born to be bad, baby)
Born
(He was)
Born, yeah (Born to be bad, baby)
