this is a song about a bad girl something that happened to me long time ago everybody was telling me how the little girl was running around i had a head of my own and i just wouldn t listen to nobody my father he told me my mother sat down and cried said son this woman will break your heart and then she ll put you down that s when i told mama these words lord have mercy bad girl mama bad bad girl mama they call her bad girl all because she wanted to be free but i m in love with the little girl and i believe that she loves me what my heart feels my lips must confess so i will never let her alone i don t care if they call her bad bad girl mama lord have mercy bad bad girl love is a mystery never can be explained by anything but i believe one of these days the whole world will understand what my heart feels my lips must confess so i will never let that little girl alone i don t care if they call her bad bad girl you better believe it mama3
