I won't begin to understand
How I just found the perfect man
Where have you been hiding out?
You're deadly
You turn me on, you spun me out
You know just what I am all about
I've got my eyes all over you
You're tricky
Now I see
How life could be
A scent so sweet
You've got me falling
Being bad never felt so good
Being bad never felt so good
Being bad never felt so good, my dear
I never lie or never cheat
Unless I think it will make you see
Precisely what it is I need from you, babe
A perfect match, a naughty game
Please, I never want to be the same
A perfect sin
You've got me in your web's maze
Now I see how life could be
You are so sweet
You've got me falling
Being bad never felt so good
Being bad never felt so good
Being bad never felt so good, my dear
Being bad never felt so good
Being bad never felt so good
Being bad never felt so good, my dear
Oh! Being bad
I love being bad
Being bad never felt so good
Never felt so good
