Lyrics
Wait, wait for me
Wait, wait, wait for me
Come on, baby
I was in a bad way, honey
Ah, till I met you
I was in a bad place, honey
And I knew I needed you
I was movin' nowhere fast, you were bringing
Bringing me down, you were bringing me down, me down
I wanted to go, you were the cutest guy in town
Wait, wait, wait for me
I don't wanna go
Wait for me, I wanna go, I wanna go
Wait for me, I wanna go
I was in a bad way, honey
I was in a bad way
I was in a bad way
Bring it on up, you know that I want it
I'm not a bad girl but when I go to clubs, I wanna flaunt it
Uh, everybody, you're Superman
It's on your terms, we can waste all my time
Because I want you
I wanna go with you
Don't leave me here
I wanna go with you
Can I be your baby doll, my my?
Can I be your cherry pie?
Why do all the best girls like bad guys?
'Cause they're to die for
You know, I know what they say about you
You know that I never care
You were always my type with your dark heart
And your long black hair, yeah
Baby, I wanna take you higher, higher
So let me, so let me, let me, let me
Let me, (yeah), let me, let me, let me love you
(You're a good guy)
Let me love you
(You're a good guy)
Let me love you
I don't wanna go, take me with you
I don't wanna go away, no, take me with you
I need you, I want you, you know that
