Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's a badman's world
It's a badman's world
It's a badman's world
[Verse 2]
It's a badman's world
It's a badman's world
It's a badman's world
[Verse 3]
Was I born as a promise
To keep the peace or meet the shame
Before you split, one thing left
To give me my ordinary name
Give me my ordinary name
[Verse 4]
Now that I'm still standing
I've got something left to prove
Got a bullet left, but I can't decide
Which scorpion I'm gonna shoot
Will it be me, will it be you?
[Verse 5]
It's a badman's world
It's a badman's world
It's a badman's world
[Verse 6]
It's a bad man's world
I'm a bad, bad girl
It's a bad man's world
[Verse 7]
I'll never forgive you
For what you put us kids through
Remember that night, tried to take your own life
When I found you, you were a shade of blue
Success is a state of mind
With a little bit of follow through
And then you failed at that too
[Verse 8]
It's a badman's world
It's a badman's world
It's a badman's world
[Verse 9]
It's a badman's world
I'm a bad, bad girl
It's a badman's world
[Verse 10]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Will it be me, will it be you?
[Verse 11]
It's a badman's world
It's a badman's world
It's a badman's world
[Verse 12]
It's a badman's world
I'm a bad, bad girl
It's a badman's world
