Born To Be Bad Lyrics - Singles - George Thorogood

Now on the night I arrived 

My daddy said "Sake's Alive!" 

It's the meanest one that we've had yet 

Teethed on tin and weaned on gin 

I was nobody's teacher's pet 

I grew up rough and mean 

In my early teens 

And I didn't want to go to school 

I called no man "Sir" 

Work was a dirty word 

My biggest kick was breakin' the rules 

So when you see me comin' get away 

The ones that didn't ain't around today 

The sweetest piece of lovin' any girl ever had 

I'm here to tell you boys I was born to be bad 

Born, born to be bad 

I was born 

Born to be bad 

Now when I reached twenty one I knew the time had come 

I had that old ramblin' itch 

Breaking little girls hearts I tore the world apart 

A guitar playin' son of a (guitar) 

Born to be bad 

That is the story of my life 

Doin' things wrong was my way of doin' things right 

Now when I'm gray and old 

And my story is told 

I know what the people will say 

They'll be glad to see me go 

But the little girls'll know 

I was bad till my dyin' day 

So when you see me comin' get away 

The ones that didn't ain't around today 

The sweetest piece of loving any girl ever had 

I'm here to tell you boys I was born to be bad 

Born, born to be bad 

I was born 

Born to be bad 

Born to be bad 

That is the story of my life 

Doin' things wrong was my way of doin' things right 

Now when I'm old and gray 

And I've had my day 

I know what the people will do 

They'll be glad to see me go 

But the little girls'll know 

I was bad till the day I was Through 

So when you see me comin' get away 

The ones that didn't ain't around today 

The sweetest piece of loving any girl ever had 

I'm here to tell you boys I was born to be bad 

Born, born to be bad 

I was born 

Born to be bad 

I was born 

Born to be bad, yeah 

Bad!
