Bad Girls

Live fast, die young

Bad girls do it well

Live fast, die young

Bad girls do it well



My chain hits my chest

When I'm banging on the dashboard

My chain hits my chest

When I'm banging on the radio



Get back, get down

Pull me closer if you think you can hang..

..hands up, hands tied

Don't go screaming if I blow you with a bang



Suki Zuki

I'm coming in the Cherokee..

..gasoline

There's steam on the window screen



Take it, take it

World's bouncing like a trampoline

When I get to where I'm going, gonna have you trembling



Live fast, die young

Bad girls do it well

Live fast, die young

Bad girls do it well



My chain hits my chest

When I'm banging on the dashboard

My chain hits my chest

When I'm banging on the radio



Yeah back it, back it

Yeah pull up to the bumper game

Yeah with a signal

Cover me, cause I'm changing lanes



Had a handle on it

My life, I broke it

When I get to where I'm going, gonna have you saying it



Live fast, die young

Bad girls do it well

Live fast, die young

Bad girls do it well



My chain hits my chest

When I'm banging on the dashboard

My chain hits my chest

When I'm banging on the radio



Get back, get down

Pull me closer if you think you can hang..

..hands up, hands tied

Don't go screaming if I blow you with a bang
