[Verse 1]
    G               C G
The good girl in your dreams
   Em
Is mad you're lovin' me
           C                 D
I know you wish that she was me

How bad, bad do you want me?
       G
You're not the guy
that cheats
 (Not the guy that cheats)
           Em
And you're afraid that
 she might leave
(That she might leave)
            C
'Cause if I get too close,
           D
 she might scream
                           Em
How bad, bad do you want me?
[Chorus]

  'Cause you like my hair

 weak every time
You hear my name,

'cause she's in your brain
And I'm here to kiss

'Bout to cause a scene
How bad, bad do you

You panic in your sleep
(Panic in your sleep)
        Em
And you feel like such a creep
(Feel like such a creep)
                 C
'Cause with your eyes closed,
           D
you might peek
                               G
So hot, hot that you can't speak
          G
You're so fcked up with
 your crew

But when you're all alone,
it's true (All alone, it's true)
          C              D
You know exactly what we do
                           Em
How bad, bad do you want to?


[Chorus]
C
  'Cause you like my hair
                  D
