[Verse 1]
You polish every word that you say
Make 'em sound perfect
How can I play a game with someone cheating every round?
Fooling everybody we meet
With a velvet handshake and pearly white teeth
I'm covered in faux fur from head to feet

[Chorus]
Bad boys, they always get in the way
With all their good moves, I really can't stay away
Bad boys, they always get in the way
With all of their good moves, I make the same mistakes

[Verse 2]
The guard is off duty again
He always leaves the door wide open
And even though it's wrong, you go inside
Fooling everybody but me
I fix my hair real nice and you make the drinks
We both swallow on the count of three

[Chorus]
Bad boys, they always get in the way
With all their good moves, I really can't stay away
Why do you have to hold me under the waves
And make it so I can't breathe, I can't think
Oh, I'll do anything you say!

[Bridge]
No one talks the way you talk, nobody shuts me up or off
I'm staring at a paper wall counting all the watermarks
No one talks the way you talk, nobody shuts me up or off
I'm staring at a paper wall counting all the watermarks
No one talks the way you talk, nobody shuts me up or off
I'm staring at a paper wall counting all the watermarks
No one talks the way you talk, nobody shuts me up or off
I'm staring at a paper wall counting all the watermarks

[Chorus]
Bad boys, they always get in the way
With all their good moves, I really can't stay away
