Lyrics[]
Like the summer of Sam back in '69
I be heavenly, deadly, on the grind
'Cause to sing this nice has to be a crime
I be murderin' 'em, murderin' 'em
Like the Summer of Love back in '69
You can say that I'm yours, but my body is divine
I belong to everybody that I walk by
Like, "hi, hi"
I'm the master of my destiny
You haven't seen the best of me
And if you want the rest of me
You have to pay a lovely fee
Hard to stay far, far, away from me
'Cause I am the baddest girl in NYC
You can look but please don't touch
Boy, stay away from me
Baby, I'm a cinnamon girl
Keepin' it fresh on the far East Side
Baby, I'm a tenement girl
Keepin' it in couture, cherry pie
B-A-D-D-E-S-T, baddest girl in NYC
Baby, I'm a dangerous girl
You should stay away from me
I be murderin' 'em, murderin' 'em
I be murderin' 'em, murderin' 'em
Like the summer of Sam back in '69
I be tyin' 'em up and hang 'em out to dry
'Cause I'm hot like that, when I walk, they die
I be murderin', murderin' 'em
Like the Summer of Love back in '69
When I get on the microphone, my, my
They be lookin' at each other like, "Aye-aye-aye"
Bye, bye
Please excuse m-my vivacity
Capacity for head games is incredible
It's better if you stay away from me
I know it's hard, hard to stay, far, far, away from me
I am the baddest girl in NYC
You can look but please don't touch
B-boy, step away from me
Baby, I'm a cinnamon girl
Keepin' it fresh on the Ea-East Side
Baby, I'm a tenement girl
Keepin' it in couture, cherry pie
B-A-D-D-E-S-T, baddest girl in NYC
Baby, I'm a dangerous girl
Baby, you should stay away from me
I be murderin' 'em, murderin' 'em happily
Murderin' 'em, murderin' 'em, ah, ah
Murderin' 'em, murderin' 'em
I'm diggable, predictable, no, everyone knows, amicable
I'll give you a fistful, you know you'll be in a fight
Missable, invincible, behavior is despicable
If you lookin' for fun, you can come out with me tonight
I am the baddest girl in NYC
I am the baddest, you're liking what you see, oh
Baby, I'm a cinnamon girl
Keepin' it sweet on the far East Side
Baby, I'm a tenement girl
Keepin' it in couture, cherry pie
B-A-D-D-E-S-T, baddest girl in NYC
Honey, I'm a dangerous girl
You should stay away from me
