This is a song about a bad girl Something that happened to me long time ago Everybody was telling me how the little girl was running around I had a head of my own and I just wouldn't listen to nobody
my father he told me my mother sat down and cried said son this woman will break your heart and then she'll put you down
that's when I told mama these words lord have mercy
baaaaaad girl mama bad, bad girl
mama they call her bad girl all because she wanted to be free
but i'm in love with the little girl and i believe that she loves me.
what my heart feels my lips must confess so I will never let her alone
i don't care if they call her bad
bad girl, mama lord have mercy
bad, bad girl
love is a mystery never can be explained by anything
but i believe one of these days the whole world will understand
what my heart feels my lips must confess so i will never let that little girl alone
i don't care if they call her bad bad girl you better believe it, mama
part 2:
big brother told me not to fall in love with an older woman (ha ha)- love, don't you treat me like a king, but i'd never let her know that i'd fallen in love with a wonderful woman that's good to me. (ha) she very good, very bad, very good, but our love got to be another thing, and i say dear god, i may be wrong for saying these words, forget you, i'll be happy with that woman. let me shield all pain and all agony, my life will always be at ease. forgive me darling, forgive me darling, but i gotta have- lord have mercy
