I Wanna Be Bad Lyrics by Avon Long

Beggar’s Holiday / Bet Your Life

0

[CARELESS LOVE]
When I was in school my teacher said
If I studied and fought to get ahead
I could end up in the White House
But for me, it wouldn't be the right house
It didn't take long for me to find
I was due for a life of a different kind
So I've studied all the movies
And at last I know just what my groove is
I wanna grow up to be bad
I don't wanna be sweet and winsome
I wanna go wrong and sin some
And be bad
I wanna grow up to be tough
I aspire to be grim and awful
Just name it—if it's unlawful
That's enough
I wanna be mean
Like the guys on the silver screen
I wanna paint the town with Paris Green
I wanna grow up to bе bad
In a battle I will be ruthless
And lеave my opponent toothless
I wanna be bad
I wanna be terrible
It's delicious to be vicious
I wanna be bad
I wanna be mean
Like the guys on the silver screen
I wanna paint the town with Paris Green
I wanna grow up to be bad
In a battle I will be ruthless
And leave my opponents toothless
I wanna be bad
I wanna be terrible
It's delicious to be vicious
I wanna be bad
