This was the first song from Ritual in Repeat to have a music video made and is considered by Alaina and Patrick to be “the most personal song on the album”. Although Alaina has admitted that the whole album feels closer to her than even their most autobiographical album (Cape Dory), this song stand...
[Verse 1]
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
[Refrain]
Bad girls, bad girls, bad girls, bad girls
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
If it were physical it would show
If it were spiritual I would know
If it were physical it would show
If it were spiritual I would know
[Hook]
There is a need always divided
From all things that I've been hiding, yea
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
If it were physical it would show
If it were spiritual I would know
If it were physical it would show
If it were spiritual I would know
[Bridge]
You know I love a good ceremony
That's why I chose matrimony
Oh I never want to feel ashamed
I just can't bear that kind of pain
[Hook]
There is a need, always divided, yeah
From all the things that I've been hiding, yeah
[Refrain]
Bad girls, bad girls, bad girls, bad girls
Bad girls, bad girls, bad girls, bad girls
