lyrics

I saw you flirting with that woman at the bar
She gave you something and slipped out that door
Well if you think you got her number contraire my friend
She’s got your number, she’s got you pegged
She’s a bad bad woman
She’s a bad bad woman
And you better listen to me or your carefree days are through
Well if you’re wondering who I am, I’ve seen her work before
Seen so many people chase her out that door
When they finally stumbled back I could hardly recognize
Those broken souls with their vacant eyes
She’s a bad bad woman
She’s a bad bad woman
No you can’t change her, not all your money will do
If you like playing with fire, picking her brain
Think you’re different, well this ain’t no game
You like a thrill, like the chase
Got a death wish, wanna fall from grace
She’s a bad bad woman, she’ll gladly oblige
Why don’t you give her a call and watch the light go from your eyes
Well she won’t kill you, she’ll slowly make you bleed
Till you won’t even notice when you’re begging on your knees
One day you’ll wake up in a deep dark hole
Burn that number baby, save your soul
She’s a bad bad woman
She’s a bad bad woman
No you can’t fix her, not all your love will do
If you like playing with fire, picking her brain
Think you’re special, well this ain’t no game
You like a thrill, like the chase
Got a death wish, wanna fall from grace
She’s a bad bad woman, she’ll gladly oblige
Why don’t you give her a call and watch the light go from your eyes
Here it goes baby, whoa
Some things in life that you just don’t touch like
Molten lava, crack cocaine, and such
You’re better off never having known so
Burn that number baby, save you soul
She’s a bad bad woman
She’s a bad bad woman
No you change her, not all your money will…
No you can’t fix her, not all your love..
No you can’t save her, not even a crucifix will do
