[INTRO — dry female laugh, single distorted guitar riff] Oh, you've heard about me? [Pause] Good. [Full band kicks in] [VERSE 1 — smoky, sarcastic, rhythmic] I heard you talking with your friends About the trouble that I'm in Said I was wicked, said I'm wild Said I could ruin you with a smile You tell 'em I'm a dangerous girl Like I'm the worst thing in this world But every time you say my name You smile like you enjoy the shame [PRE-CHORUS — building attitude] I never claimed to be a saint Never wore a pretty disguise If you're looking for an angel Better open up your eyes [CHORUS — HUGE, DIRTY, MELODIC] CALL ME THE DEVIL! CALL ME A SIN! I NEVER HID THE TROUBLE YOU WERE WALKING IN! I DON'T WEAR A HALO! I DON'T PLAY PRETEND! BETTER THE DEVIL THAT YOU KNOW THAN THE ANGEL WHO'LL DO YOU IN! [POST-CHORUS — punchy guitar stops] [Spoken, amused] Oh, honey... You ain't seen wicked yet. [VERSE 2 — playful, biting delivery] You say I got a wicked tongue Well, baby, I ain't biting none I say exactly what I mean Don't need to hide behind a dream You want a girl who'll play along Smile pretty when you do her wrong Well, bless your heart, that's mighty sweet But that sure as hell ain't me [PRE-CHORUS — rising aggression] I don't apologize for breathing Don't need permission to be free If you're scared of strong opinions You should stay away from me [CHORUS — FULL POWER] CALL ME THE DEVIL! CALL ME A SIN! I NEVER HID THE TROUBLE YOU WERE WALKING IN! I DON'T WEAR A HALO! I DON'T PLAY PRETEND! BETTER THE DEVIL THAT YOU KNOW THAN THE ANGEL WHO'LL DO YOU IN! [GUITAR SOLO — 32 counts, dirty aggressive bends, driving bass] [BRIDGE — bass and drums only, spoken with attitude] You know what I find funny? Everybody wants a woman Who knows what she wants. Until she does. [Pause] Then suddenly... She's a bitch. [Low laugh] Well... Woof, motherfucker. [BREAKDOWN — crushing half-time groove] I DON'T BOW! I DON'T BREAK! I DON'T SMILE FOR YOUR SAKE! I DON'T BEG! I DON'T BEND! I DON'T NEED ANOTHER FRIEND! [Sudden silence] [Whisper, wicked grin] Scared yet? [FINAL CHORUS — MASSIVE, DEFIANT] CALL ME THE DEVIL! CALL ME A SIN! I NEVER HID THE TROUBLE YOU WERE WALKING IN! I DON'T WEAR A HALO! I DON'T PLAY PRETEND! BETTER THE DEVIL THAT YOU KNOW THAN THE ANGEL WHO'LL DO YOU IN! [OUTRO — heavy riff, rhythmic stops] [Spoken, sarcastic] So go ahead. Tell everybody I'm trouble. Tell 'em I'm wicked. Tell 'em I'm dangerous. [Pause] Just make sure... You spell my fucking name right. [Final guitar hit] [END]
