Born To Be Bad Lyrics - Mercury Albums Anthology - The Runaways

Bodies without minds 

I hear you're the one with the bleeding heart 

Blue and bittersweet 

You tear my dreams apart 

Cause I was born to be bad 

I'm not sad 

But I'm glad I did it 

Born to be bad 

I'm not sad why don't you all get with it 

The damned don't cry 

Cry out when they're betrayed 

Bodies slam they scream 

As the keynotes fade 

Cause I was born to be bad 

I'm not sad 

But I'm glad I did it 

Born to be bad 

I'm not sad why don't you all get with it 

I called my mother from Hollywood the other day 

And I said "Mom, I just called to tell ya I joined a rock and roll band 

And I won't be coming home no more" 

You know what she did? 

She started crying and weeping and wimpering like all mothers do 

She woke up my father and told him about it and he said 

"There ain't a damn thing we can do, thats the way she is 

She was just born to be bad" 

I want you to bring me his ears 

To satisfy my mad desires 

And if he bites the dust 

We'll just have to miss my fire 

Cause I was born to be bad 

I'm not sad 

But I'm glad I did it 

Born to be bad 

I'm not sad why don't you all get with it
