Bad Boys Get Spanked
The Pretenders · Original Album Series [2010]
You know you're not allowed to
But you seem to get some kind of kick
Out of doing what you're not allowed to
You deliberately defy the rules
'Cause the law's upheld by fools
Shit on that
Bad boys get spanked
You can look but don't touch
But no you can't resist
Don't you ever think about the consequence
Guys like you never do
That's the kind of stuff that boys are made out of
That's the kind of stuff that girls are made out of
[Incomprehensible]
Bad boys get spanked
Bad boys get spanked
You don't listen, do you, asshole?
Don't be a punk all your life
Someone's gonna sort you out
They'll try to make a man out of you
Say, "Yes Sir", say, "No Sir"
Say, "Yes Ma'am", say, "No Ma'am"
Shit on that
Bad boys get spanked
Bad boys get spanked
Get spanked, oh, oh, ooh get spanked
Come here, get spanked
Bad boys get spanked
Come here, get spanked
Bad Boys Get Spanked
