Poison - Bad To Be Good lyrics

rate me

There's an alley cat slowly walkin' down a dirty street<br>Watching a cop on the take marching to his city beat<br>You got five fingers johnny stealing everything in sight<br>You gotta be bad to be good in the dead of the night<br>Wowowow, kick it<br><br>You're dancing in fire, baby<br>When you're takin' it to the streets<br>Yeah to the streets<br>Baby better be better watch your back<br>Fast on your feet<br><br>Cause they're wheelin' dealin'<br>Cheatin' stealin'<br>Child you're gonna learn<br><br>Chorus:<br>You gotta be bad to be good<br>If you know what I'm talkin' about<br>What's that<br>So I say it again<br>You gotta be bad to be good<br>In the dead of the night<br><br>When you got nothin' baby<br>You got nothin' to lose, nothin' to lose<br>It's an eye for an eye baby<br>And a tooth for a tooth, ain't it the truth<br><br>If you got nine lives you might survive<br>Cause nothing's free on the other side<br><br>Chorus<br><br>Wheelin' dealin' cheatin' stealin'<br>Just to stay alive<br>They got love for sale, yes for sale<br>On the new york subway line<br>Watch the working girls hanging out<br>Turning tricks underneath the lights,<br>Oh the lights<br><br>One step from hell<br>The poor men sell their soul<br>For a taste of wine<br><br>Chorus<br><br>When it's said and done<br>And you're on the run<br>And the only law comes under the gun
