You're dancing fine, baby When you're taking it to the streets, yeah
Better watch your back, baby Better be fast on your feet, yeah
Yeah, yes, I'm so free, baby Cause every wheel and deal and cheat you can steal
And charge you're gonna learn You've gotta be bad to be good
If you know what I'm talking about What's that? So say it again
You've gotta be bad to be good In the dead of the night
When you've got nothing, baby You've got nothin' to lose, nothin' to lose
It's an eye for an eye, baby And a tooth for a tooth, and a tooth
If you've got nine lives, you might survive But from this breed on the other side
You've gotta be bad to be good If you know what I'm talking about
What's that? So say it again
You've gotta be bad to be good If you know what I'm talking about
What's that? So say it again
Every wheel and deal and cheat you can steal And charge you're gonna learn
I got enough to sell you, to sell you One New York subway line
What's it lookin', girls? Hangin' out?
Doin' the tricks of the legalize of the line
One step ahead of the poor man He sells his soul for a taste of wine
You've gotta be bad to be good If you know what I'm talking about
What's that? So say it again
You've gotta be bad to be good If you know what I'm talking about
What's that? So say it again
Bad to be good
You've gotta be bad to be good
Bad to be good
You've gotta be bad to be good
What's that? So say it again
When you're sitting down and you're on the run The only law is love under the gun
