Lyrics
Final version
I was born bad, but then I met you
You made me nice for a while
But my dark side's true
He never cared what I did at all
Motel singer or the silver pole
I did what I had to do
Femme fatale, always on the run
Diamonds on my wrist
Whiskey on my tongue
Before I do bad, I gotta get drunk
So get over here
Pour me a cold one
Baby can see that I'm danger
Teetering off of the stage, yeah
Sparkling in sequins, say hey, yeah
Time to give in to the kindness of strangers
Is it wrong, wrong that I think it's kind of fun
When I hit you in the back of the head with a gun?
My daddy's in the trunk of his brand new truck
I really want him back but I'm flat outta luck
Is it wrong, wrong that I think it's kind of fun
When I hit you in the back of the head with a gun?
My daddy's in the trunk of his brand new truck
I really want him back but I'm kinda outta luck
Wrong, I know, killing someone
It gets a little easier
When you've done it once
You know that I'm fun
You know that I'm young
So tell me you're mine
Let's get it on
Baby can see that I'm danger
Glamorous but I'm deranged, yeah
Teetering off of the stage, yeah
I said it really nicely, can you be my savior?
Is it wrong, wrong that I think it's kind of fun
When I hit you in the back of the head with a gun?
My daddy's in the trunk of his brand new truck
I really want him back but I'm flat outta luck
Is it wrong, wrong that I think it's kind of fun
When I hit you in the back of the head with a gun?
My daddy's in the trunk of his brand new truck
I really want him back but I'm kinda outta luck
I was a dangerous girl
You were too nice for this world
And now I'm back on the prowl
Who wants to give it a whirl?
Is it wrong, wrong that I think it's kind of fun
When I hit you in the back of the head with a gun?
My daddy's in the trunk of his brand new truck
I really want him back but I'm flat outta luck
Is it wrong, wrong that I think it's kind of fun
When I hit you in the back of the head with a gun?
My daddy's in the trunk of his brand new truck
I really want him back but I'm kinda outta luck
