Intro (Riff) 4x

On the day I was born,             the nurses all gathered 'round
And they gazed in wide wonder,    at the joy they had found
The head nurse spoke up,           she said leave this one alone
She could tell right away,         that I was bad to the bone (Riff)

I broke a thousand hearts,         before I met you
I'll break a thousand more baby,   before I am through
I wanna be yours pretty baby,      yours and yours alone
I'm here to tell ya honey,(Riff)   that I'm bad to the bone

I'm here to tell ya honey, (Riff)  that I'm bad to the bone
