Poison - Bad To Be Good lyrics

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 Wowowow, kick it You're dancing in fire, baby When you're takin' it to the streets Yeah to the streets Baby better be better watch your back Fast on your feet Cause they're wheelin' dealin' Cheatin' stealin' Child you're gonna learn Chorus: You gotta be bad to be good If you know what i'm talkin' about What's that So i 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 nothing's free on the other side Chorus Wheelin' dealin' cheatin' stealin' Just to stay alive They 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 Chorus When it's said and done And you're on the run And the only law comes under the gun
