(verse 1) Full of swagger and bravado Sweepin’ through like a tornado Stirrin’ up trouble and contention And full of loose affection He’s got his shit-kickin’ boots on And a smile to match You know where his line is drawn And he’s darin’ you to pass (pre-chorus) Look at that body Look at that face Look at him ownin’ The whole damn place! (chorus) I always love the bad boys The ones with all the guile The boys who heat me up Then cool me down with style The boys who know how to break the rules Without ever getting caught The boys who don’t have to fight To prove they’re tough and hot The bad boys who make confidence an art The bad boys with the secret Of a sweet and loving heart (verse 2) They always look a little rough With sparks glowing in their eyes Their hands are scarred and tough But oh so gentle, and that’s a sweet surprise! They command attention From every direction And it’s given to them free And somehow those bad boys Always know how to find me! (pre-chorus) Look at that wild hair! Look at that bangin’ walk! Everybody listens When that bad boy starts to talk! (chorus) I always love the bad boys The ones with all the guile The boys who heat me up Then cool me down with style The boys who know how to break the rules Without ever getting caught The boys who don’t have to fight To prove they’re tough and hot The bad boys who make confidence an art The bad boys with the secret Of a sweet and loving heart [instrumental break with funky slap bass, dynamic syncopated drums, dirty and gritty guitar solo] (bridge) You may be afraid To take him home to mother But she’ll be charmed, too ‘Cause he ain’t like all the others He may be rough and swagger-walkin’ But he’s also smooth and good at sweet-talkin’ (verse 3) He’s a rebel wrapped in good intentions He’s a scoundrel, a rogue, a pirate He can work his magic on a room And he can work me up in private All the bad boys have an ornery grin And that grin always pulls me in I love their boldness and apathy And their ability to melt all of me (pre-chorus) Look at him face the storm! Look into his eyes and feel warm That bad boy has all the charisma And doesn’t care about the stigma (chorus) I always love the bad boys The ones with all the guile The boys who heat me up Then cool me down with style The boys who know how to break the rules Without ever getting caught The boys who don’t have to fight To prove they’re tough and hot The bad boys who make confidence an art The bad boys with the secret Of a sweet and loving heart (outro) Give me a bad boy every time I want that rough rider That snake-charmer That pacing lion That heat there’s no denyin’ Give me a bad boy with a good heart And let the lovin’ start!
