[Intro]
(Na-na-na-na, na)
(Na-na-na-na, na)
(Na, na-na-na, na-na, na-na)
(Na, na-na-na, na-na, na-na)
[Verse 1]
Let's aim this gun in my direction
I used to be an angel, baby (Na, na-na-na, na-na, na-na)
I've done a lot of self reflection
Decided on a full 180 (Na, na-na-na, na-na, na-na)
[Pre-Chorus]
Being nice will leave you broken
Fall in love, you're gonna fall on your face
So, come on (Come on)
So, come on (Come on)
You might as well play the game
[Chorus]
Oh, my, my, it's so good to be bad
Got a big, red heart in the palm of my hand
Nice girls always finish last
I said, "Oh, my, my, it's so good to be, good to be—"
[Post-Chorus]
(Na-na-na-na, na)
(Na-na-na-na, na) Good to be bad
(Na, na-na-na, na-na, na-na)
(Na, na-na-na, na-na, na-na)
[Verse 2]
Call me karma, I'ma getcha
I'm faster than a Maserati (Na, na-na-na, na-na, na-na)
You only hurt me if I let ya
And that applies to everybody (Na, na-na-na, na-na, na-na)
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause what's the fun in being broken
When you can be the one that's causing pain?
So, come on (Come on)
Ah, come on (Come on)
You might as well play the game, yeah
[Chorus]
Oh, my, my, it's so good to be bad
Got a big, red heart in the palm of my hand
Nice girls always finish last
I said, "Oh, my, my, it's so good to be, good to be—"
[Post-Chorus]
(Na-na-na-na, na)
(Na-na-na-na, na) Good to be bad
(Na, na-na-na, na-na, na-na)
(Na, na-na-na, na-na, na-na)
[Bridge]
So many times I've been walked over
I've finally lost all my composure
Don't understand me, I'll come closer now
[Chorus]
Oh, my, my, it's so good to be bad
Oh, my, my, it's so good to be bad
Got a big, red heart in the palm of my hand
Nice girls always finish last
I said, "Oh, my, my, it's so good to be, good to be bad"
[Post-Chorus]
(Na-na-na-na, na)
(Na-na-na-na, na)
(Na, na-na-na, na-na, na-na)
(Na, na-na-na, na-na, na-na) So good to be—
(Na-na-na-na, na)
(Na-na-na-na, na) So good to be, yeah
(Na, na-na-na, na-na, na-na)
(Na, na-na-na, na-na, na-na) So good to be bad
