If you could only read my mind You would know that things between us Ain't right I know your arms are open wide But you're a little on the straight side I can't lie Your one vice Is you're too nice Come around now, can't you see? I want you All tattooed I want you bad Complete me Mistreat me Want you to be bad, bad, bad, bad, bad If you could only read my mind You would know that I've been waiting So long For someone almost just like you But with attitude, I'm waiting, so come on Get out of clothes time Grow out those highlights Come around now, can't you see ? I want you In a vinyl suit I want you bad Complicated X-rated I want you bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad Don't get me wrong I know you're only being good But that's what's wrong I guess I just misunderstood I want you All tattooed I want you bad Complicated X- rated I want you bad I mean it I need it I want you bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad Really, really bad
