The Runaways
Born to Be Bad
[Verse 1]
Bodies without minds
I hear you're the ones with the bleeding hearts
Blue and bittersweet
You tear my dreams apart
[Chorus]
'Cause I was born to be bad
I'm not sad, and I'm glad I did it
Born to be bad
I'm not sad, why don't you all get with it? Yeah
[Verse 2]
The damned don't cry
Cry out when they're betrayed
Bodies slam they scream
As the keynotes fade
[Chorus]
'Cause I was born to be bad
I'm not sad, and I'm glad I did it
Born to be bad
I'm not sad, why don't you all get with it? Woo!
[Bridge]
I called my mother from Hollywood the other day
And I said, "Mom, I just called to tell ya I joined a rock and roll band
And, uh, I won't be coming home no more"
You know what she did?
She started cryin' and weepin' and whimperin', like all mothers do
She woke up my father and told him about it, he said
"There ain't a damn thing we can do, that's the way she is
Hey, you know she was just, uh, born to be bad"
[Guitar Solo]
[Interlude]
Woo!
[Verse 3]
Yeah, I want you to bring me his ears
To satisfy my mad desires
And if he bites the dust
Well, you just have to miss my fire, woo!
Yeah
[Chorus]
'Cause I was born to be bad
I'm not sad, and I'm glad I did it
Born to be bad
I'm not sad, why don't you all get with it?
