Bad To Be Good - Poison

There’s an alley cat slowly walkin' down a dirty street

Watching a cop on the take marching to his city beat

You got five fingers Johnny stealing everything in sight

You gotta be bad to be good in the dead of the night

Wow, kick it

You’re dancing in fire, baby

When you’re takin' it to the streets yeah to the streets

Better watch your back baby, better be fast on your feet

Yes on your feet

'Cause they’re wheelin' dealin' cheatin' stealin'

Child you’re gonna learn

You gotta be bad to be good

If you know what I’m talkin' about

What’s that so say it again

You gotta be bad to be good

In the dead of the night

When you got nothin' baby

You got nothin' to lose, nothin' to lose

It’s an eye for an eye baby

And a tooth for a tooth, ain’t it the truth

If you got nine lives you might survive

'Cause nothings free on the other side

You gotta be bad to be good

If you know what I’m talkin' about

What’s that so say it again

You gotta be bad to be good

In the dead of the night

Wheelin' dealin' cheatin' stealin' just to stay alive

I’ve got love for sale, yes for sale

On the New York subway line

Watch the working girls hanging out

Turning tricks underneath the lights, oh the lights

One step from hell the poor men sell their soul

For a taste of wine

You gotta be bad to be good

If you know what I’m talkin' about

What’s that so say it again

You gotta be bad to be good

If you know what I’m talkin' about

What’s that so say it again

You gotta be bad to be good

Bad to be good

You gotta be bad to be good

Bad to be good

What’s that so say it again

When it’s said and done and you’re on the run

And the only law comes under the gun
