Lyrics

Bad Behaviour

Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
With my bad behaviour
Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na, na-na

Don't get me faded
Don't play my favourite
If you don't wanna see me acting like a fool
If you can't keep up with my bad behaviour
You can't contain me
Every time I'm up, I run around you
You know you can't keep up

They ask if it's my birthday
Say, "What we celebrating?"
Everybody dancin' 'round me, dancin' 'round me (mmm)
The whole room looking my way
'Cause the afterparty's my place
I got 'em all around me, all around me (mmm)

Don't wait, not a minute
We here, no limit, no pressure, baby
Can't dip, now we in it
It's gonna be a good one
Never no pressure, baby
I was unruly when you met me
You just have to accept it
And if you can't handle it

Don't get me faded
Don't play my favourite
If you don't wanna see me acting like a fool
If you can't keep up with my bad behaviour
You can't contain me
Every time I'm up, I run around you
You know you can't keep up
With my bad behaviour

Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
With my bad behaviour
Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
With my bad behaviour

On you, all the drinks are on you (on you)
You know how I like to (like to)
So dance around me, dance around me
Don't need a real occasion (ah)
'Cause is there isn't then I'll make one (ah)
Don't you know about me, know about me (mmm)

Don't wait (don't wait), not a minute (na, na)
We here, no limit, no pressure, baby
Can't dip (no, no), now we in it
It's gonna be a good one
Never no pressure, baby
I was unruly when you met me
You just have to accept it (mmm)
And if you can't handle it

Don't get me faded
Don't play my favourite
If you don't wanna see me acting like a fool
If you can't keep up with my bad behaviour (no, no)
You can't contain me
'Cause every time I'm up I'm all around you
You know you can't keep up
With my bad behaviour

Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
With my bad behaviour
Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
With my bad behaviour

No I don't mean to tease you
But I'm not a people pleaser
No I don't need a reason
Not doing it for you
I'm just doing it for me, yeah

No I don't mean to tease you
But I'm not a people pleaser
No I don't need a reason
Not doing it for you
I'm just doing it for me, yeah
