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 want to 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 my, 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 E-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 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
