Born To Be Bad

(album: Born To Be Bad - 1988)

Now on the night I arrived
My daddy said "Sake's Alive!"
It's the meanest one that we've had yet
Teethed on tin and weaned on gin
I was nobody's teacher's pet

I grew up rough and mean
In my early teens
And I didn't want to go to school
I called no man "Sir"
Work was a dirty word
My biggest kick was breaking the rules

So when you see me coming get away
the ones that didn't ain't around today
The sweetest piece of loving any girl ever had
I'm here to tell you boys I was born to be bad

Born, Born to be bad
I was Born
Born to be bad

Now when I reached 21 I knew the time had come
I had that old rambling itch
Breaking little girls hearts I tore the world apart
A guitar playing son of a (guitar)

Born to be bad
That is the story of my life
Doing things wrong was my way of doing things right

Now when I'm gray and old
And my story is told
I know what the people will say
They'll be glad to see me go
But the little girls'll know
I was bad till my dying day

So when you see me coming get away
The ones that didn't ain't around today
The sweetest piece of loving any girl ever had
I'm here to tell you boys I was born to be bad

Born, Born to be bad
I was Born
Born to be bad

Born to be bad
That is the story of my life
Doing things wrong was my way of doing things right

Now when I'm old and gray
And I've had my day
I know what the people will do
They'll be glad to see me go
But the little girls'll know
I was bad till the day I was Through

So when you see me coming get away
The ones that didn't ain't around today
The sweetest piece of loving any girl ever had
I'm here to tell you boys I was born to be bad

Born, Born to be bad
I was Born
Born to be bad
I was Born
Born to be bad, yeah

Bad!
