Won't you tell me, what did I do?

To make you so nervous, like 5-0's been comin' for you

Don't mean to hurt your feelings with the honest things I say

I can't help it, but I ain't into playing games

No, no, I ain't into playing games, ya know.

I'm just a confident, independent, gettin it', intelligent woman

And if my confident, independence go and get it intelligence scares ya

Then I'll be the bad girl

The one that you really want

The one that won't settle for nothing and make you show just what you're made of

Yeah, I'll be the bad girl

The one that you're scared to love

I'll make you face all your fears, then wipe all your tears, so toughen up

And fall for the bad girl

Yeah, I'll be the bad girl.

I'm just being who I am

It's not my fault that somehow I make you feel less of a man

My intention's not to offend, but I see right through your pride

Yes, that's why you look away

I stare into your eyes

Yes, I'm so sorry, so sorry, so sorry.

I'm just a confident, independent, gettin it', intelligent woman

And if my confident, independence go and get it intelligence scares ya

Then I'll be the bad girl

The one that you really want

The one that won't settle for nothing and make you show just what you're made of

Yeah, I'll be the bad girl

The one that you're scared to love

I'll make you face all your fears, then wipe all your tears, so toughen up

And fall for the bad girl.

The one strong enough to lift you up

Who won't let you fall, unless you're falling in love

Sooner or later you'll see, that having a bad girl is everything you need

I'll be the bad girl

Yeah, I'll be the bad girl.
