Rotten to the Core Lyrics by Sofia Carson

Descendants (Original TV Movie Soundtrack)

2015

[Intro]
(Yeah)

[Verse 1]
They say I'm trouble, they say I'm bad
They say I'm evil, that makes me glad (Yeah)
A dirty no-good, down to the bone
Your worst nightmare, can't take me home (Yeah)
So I got some mischief in my blood?
Can you blame me? I never got no love (Yeah)
They think I'm callous (Mm), a low-life hood
I feel so useless, misunderstood, hey, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who's the baddest of them all?
Welcome to my wicked world
Wicked world

[Chorus]
I'm rotten to the core, rotten to the core
I'm rotten to the core, who could ask for more?
I'm nothing like the kid next, like the kid next door
I'm rotten to the (Core), I'm rotten to the core

[Break]
Listen up now (Yeah)

[Verse 2]
Call me a schemer, call me a freak
How can you say that? Mm, I'm just unique (Yeah)
What, me a traitor? Ain't got your back?
Are we not friends? What's up with that? (Yeah)
So I'm a misfit? So I'm a flirt?
I broke your heart? I made you hurt?
The past is past, forgive, forget
The truth is you ain't seen nothin' yet

[Pre-Chorus]
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who's the baddest of them all?
Welcome to my wicked world
Wicked world

[Chorus]
I'm rotten to the core, rotten to the core
I'm rotten to the core, who could ask for more?
I'm nothing like the kid next, like the kid next door
I'm rotten to the (Core), I'm rotten to the core

[Bridge]
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) Original
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) Unusual
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) You can say what you want
But we will always be
Rotten to the core, rotten to the core
Rotten to the core, who could ask for more?
I'm nothing like the kid next, like the kid next door
I'm rotten to the, I'm rotten to the

[Chorus]
I'm rotten to the core, rotten to the core
(Mm) I'm rotten to the core, who could ask for more? (Who could ask for more)
I'm nothing like the kid next, like the kid next door (Like the kid next door)
I'm rotten to the (Core), I'm rotten to the core
