Lyrics

I take what I want

I′m a bad old gal yeah

I never love you

And I never treat you yeah

I take what I want

Never I want you

I've been watching you walk by

But I haven′t say a word

But now I'm ready to get you

Baby I wanna be your girl

I take what I want

Baby I want you

Coming pick me up hurry on way

Take up now baby take up today

Here I am I'm just a little bad girl

Coming get me baby

I wanna be your girl

Cause I take what I want

Baby I want you

Said I take what I want

Don′t you know?

I wanna you yes, I do

I′m gonna get you babe

I would claim on you

I never quit

I never let you go

Cause I take what I want

I'm a bad old gal yeah

I want you

I′m gonna get you
