Lyrics

Bad Girls

Even bad girls can do good things
Even bad girls have holy dreams
Oh I, I'm not so transparent
My intentions, they ain't so apparent

(Bad girls, bad girls)
(Bad girls, bad girls)

Even bad girls have tender hearts
Even bad girls can fall apart
In the night, oh I am transformed
By the next day I've been reborn

If it were physical, it would show
If it were spiritual, I would know, oh
If it were physical, it would show
If it were spiritual, I would know, oh
There is a need always dividing me
From all the things that I've been hiding, yeah

The truth you know I'll never find
I'll never have any peace of mind
It's true, I know, I'll never find
I'll never have any peace of mind

If it were physical, it would show
If it were spiritual, I would know, oh
If it were physical, it would show
If it were spiritual, I would know, oh
You know I love a good ceremony, yeah
That's why I chose matrimony, yeah

Oh, I never want to feel ashamed
I just can't bear that kind of pain
There is a need always divided, yeah
From all the things that I've been hiding, yeah

Bad girls, bad girls
Bad girls, bad girls
Bad girls, bad girls
Bad girls, bad girls
Ahh
