Now on the night I arrived 
 My daddy said "Sake's Alive!" 
 It's the meanest one that we've had yet 
 Teethed on tin and weaned on gin 
 I was nobody's teacher's pet 

 I grew up rough and mean 
 In my early teens 
 And I didn't want to go to school 
 I called no man "Sir" 
 Work was a dirty word 
 My biggest kick was breakin' [bad word] 

 So when you see [bad word]  get away 
 the ones that didn't ain't around today 
 The sweetest piece of lovin' any girl ever had 
 I'm here to tell you boys I was born to be bad 

 Born, Born to be bad 
 I was Born 
 Born to be bad 

 Now when I reached 21 I knew the time [bad word] 
 I had that old ramblin' itch 
 Breaking little girls hearts I tore the world apart 
 guitar playin' son of a (guitar) 

 Born to be bad 
 That is the story of my life 
 Doin' things wrong was my way of doin' things right 

 Now when I'm gray and old 
 And my story is told 
 I know what the people will say 
 They'll be glad to see me go 
 But the little girls'll know 
 I was bad till my dyin' day 

 So when you see [bad word]  get away 
 The ones that didn't ain't around today 
 The sweetest piece of loving any girl ever had 
 I'm here to tell you boys I was born to be bad 

 Born, Born to be bad 
 I was Born 
 Born to be bad 

 Born to be bad 
 That is the story of my life 
 Doin' things wrong was my way of doin' things right 

 Now when I'm old and gray 
 And I've had my day 
 I know what the people will do 
 They'll be glad to see me go 
 But the little girls'll know 
 I was bad till the day I was Through 

 So when you see [bad word]  get away 
 The ones that didn't ain't around today 
 The sweetest piece of loving any girl ever had 
 I'm here to tell you boys I was born to be bad 

 Born, Born to be bad 
 I was Born 
 Born to be bad 
 I was Born 
 Born to be bad, yeah 

 Bad!
