Want You Bad Lyrics
The Offspring
Lyrics
If you could only read my mind
You would know that things between us
Ain't right
I know your arms are open wide
But yoy're a little on the straight side
I can't lie
Your one vice
If you're too nice
Come around now can't you see
I want you
All tattooed
I want you bad
Complete me
Mistreat me
I want you to be bad
If you could only read my mind
You would know that I've been waiting
So long
For someone almost just like you
But with attitude, I'm waiting
So come on
Get out of clothestime
Grow out those highlights
Come around now can't you see
I want you
In a vinyl suit
I want you bad
Complicated
X-Rated
I want you bad
Don't get me wrong
I know you're only being good
But that's what's wrong
I guess I just misunderstood
I want you
All tattooed
I want you bad
Complicated
X-Rated
I want you bad
I mean it
I need it
I want you bad
Bad
Bad
Bad
Really, really bad
Really, really bad
