Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Your mama always told me you were up to no good
Never listened to her like your brothers would
Black leather jacket with your hair slicked back
Faster than an Eldorado Cadillac
[Verse 2]
You act like James Dean
Nightmare disguised in a sweet dream
You thought I was foolish, didn't think I'd see
Your MO's making a good girl's heart bleed
Baby, you were born a bad seed
[Verse 3]
Smooth like a jet plane in a clear blue sky
Was hard not to fall for your lying eyes
But I just couldn't let love grow
'Cause my intuition told me, "Hell no"
[Verse 4]
You act like James Dean
A nightmare disguised in a sweet dream
You thought I was foolish, didn't think I'd see
Your MO's making a good girl's heart bleed
'Cause, baby, you were born a bad seed
[Verse 5]
Bad to the root, bad to the core
Karma will come knocking on your door
You'll come to know, you reap what you sow
While pumping gas at a Texaco
[Verse 6]
You act like James Dean
A nightmare disguised in a sweet dream
You thought I was foolish, didn't think I'd see
Your MO's making a good girl's heart bleed
Baby, you were born
Baby, you were born
Baby, you were born a bad seed
