Lyrics
[Verse 1]
On the day I was born, the nurses all gathered 'round
And they gazed in wide wonder, at the joy they had found
The head nurse spoke up, said "Leave this one alone"
She could tell right away, that I was bad to the bone
[Chorus]
Bad to the bone
Bad to the bone
B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-Bad
Bad to the bone
[Verse 2]
I broke a thousand hearts, before I met you
I'll break a thousand more baby, before I am through
I wanna be yours pretty baby, yours and yours alone
I'm here to tell you honey, that I'm bad to the bone
[Chorus]
Bad to the bone
B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-Bad
Bad to the bone
[Break]
I make a rich woman bad, and I make a good woman steal
I make an old woman blush, and I make a young girl squeal
I wanna be yours pretty baby, yours and yours alone
I'm here to tell you honey, that I'm bad to the bone
[Chorus]
B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-Bad
Bad to the bone
[Break]
Now when I walk the streets, Kings and Queens step aside
Every woman I meet, they all stay satisfied
I wanna tell you pretty baby, what I see I make my own
And I'm here to tell you honey, that I'm bad to the bone
[Chorus]
Bad to the bone
B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-Bad
Whoo!
Bad to the bone
