[Verse 1: Eric Bloom]
I knew her when she was a secretary
She always refused to get married
She tried not to smile or meet your eyes
She knew if she did, you'd start those lies

I busted a sweat every day on the dock
She sang to herself as she worked for the boss
She'd process words to the dance music station
Every stroke of her fingers an invitation

[Chorus: Eric Bloom]
She said (I just like to be bad)
First names only and one night stands
(I just like to be bad)
Forget the face, I want the hands

[Verse 2: Eric Bloom]
And I kept trying whisperin' slow and special
Something eternal and something essential
I don't give up but I ain't a stalker
I guess I'm just an easy talker

[Chorus: Eric Bloom]
She said (I just like to be bad)
First names only and one night stands
(I just like to be bad)
Forget the face, I want the hands
