Lyrics

She's not a bad girl because
She made me see (Doo-doo-do-doo)
How love could be (Doo-doo-do-doo)
But she's a bad girl (Bad girl because)
She wants to be free (Bad girl because)
She wants to be free (Bad girl, doo)
She's not a bad, bad girl to look at
Finer than fine (Finer than fine)
Said she was mine, mine, mine (Said she was mine)
But she's a bad girl because
It was only a lie (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
I, I, I bragged to the birds about the girl I had
It brought me out to find out
She was bad and my only wish is that
I wish I could make a (Bad girl to be good)
She wasn't a bad girl, girl at first
So good at the start (Good at the start)
But now, now we must part (Now we must part)
Oh yes, she's a bad girl because
She's breaking my heart (Bad girl because)
Ooh-ooh-ooh, my heart (She's breaking my heart)
So, so, so bad (Bad girl because)
She's breaking my heart
