Baby please don't get too close to me
Cause that ring you're wearin' 
Says that you're not free
But if I said I didn't want ya 
Well you know I'd be a liar
You better run while there's still time 
Cause I can't stop this fire
I want you bad I can't help myself 
But you belong to someone else
I'd leave you alone, darling, if I could 
But I want you bad and that ain't good

Baby please put away those ruby lips
And those big blue eyes 
Are too hard to resist
I'm not that kind of man 
Oh and usually I'm strong
But it's gettin' hard to tell between 
What's right and what is wrong
I want you bad I can't help myself,
I want you bad girl that ain't good 
I want you bad bad bad that ain't good
