BAD

Written and Composed by Michael Jackson

 

(From “BAD” Album)

 

 

Your butt is mine

Gonna tell you right

Just show your face

In broad daylight

I’m telling you

On how I feel

Gonna hurt your mind

Don’t shoot to kill

Come on,

 

Come on,

Lay it on me

All right…

 

I’m giving you

On count of three

To show your stuff

Or let it be…

I’m telling you

Just watch your mouth

I know your game

What you’re about

 

Well they say the sky’s the limit

And to me that’s really true

But my friend you have seen nothin’

Just wait ‘till I get through…

 

Because I’m bad, I’m bad - come on

(Bad bad - really, really bad)

You know I’m bad, I’m bad - you know it

(Bad bad - really, really bad)

You know I’m bad, I’m bad - come on, you know

(Bad bad - really, really bad)

And the whole world has to

Answer right now

Just to tell you once again,

Who’s bad…

 

The word is out

You’re doin’ wrong

Gonna lock you up

Before too long,

Your lyin’ eyes

Gonna tell you right

So listen up

Don’t make a fight,

Your talk is cheap

You’re not a man

You’re throwin’ stones

To hide your hands

 

But they say the sky’s the limit

And to me that’s really true

And my friends you have seen nothin’

Just wait ‘till I get through . . .

 

Because I’m bad, I’m bad - come on

(Bad bad - really, really bad)

You know I’m bad, I’m bad - you know it

(Bad bad - really, really bad)

You know I’m bad, I’m bad - you know it, you know

(Bad bad - really, really bad)

And the whole world has to answer right now

(And the whole world has to answer right now)

Just to tell you once again,

(Just to tell you once again)

Who’s bad…

 

We can change the world tomorrow

This could be a better place

If you don’t like what I’m sayin’

Then won’t you slap my face…

 

Because I’m bad, I’m bad - come on

(Bad bad - really, really bad)

You know I’m bad, I’m bad - you know it

(Bad bad - really, really bad)

You know I’m bad, I’m bad - you know it, you know

(Bad bad - really, really bad)

 

Woo! Woo! Woo!

(And the whole world has to answer right now

Just to tell you once again…)

 

You know I’m bad, I’m bad - come on

(Bad bad - really, really bad)

You know I’m bad, I’m bad - you know it - you know it

(Bad bad - really, really bad)

You know, you know, you know - come on

(Bad bad - really, really bad)

And the whole world has to answer right now

(And the whole world has to answer right now)

Just to tell you

(Just to tell you once again)

 

You know I’m smooth - I’m bad - you know it

(Bad bad - really, really bad)

You know I’m bad - I’m bad baby

(Bad bad - really, really bad)

You know, you know, you know it - come on

(Bad bad - really, really bad)

And the whole world has to answer right now

(And the whole world has to answer right now)

Woo!

(Just to tell you once again)

 

You know I’m bad, I’m bad - you know it

(Bad bad - really, really bad)

You know I’m bad – you know - hoo!

(Bad bad - really, really bad)

You know I’m bad - I’m bad - you know it, you know

(Bad bad - really, really bad)

And the whole world has to answer right now

(And the whole world has to answer right now)

Just to tell you once again…

(Just to tell you once again…)

Who’s bad?
