hey yo boo, why do (good girls) like bad guys

knowin that bad guys tell mad lies?

(and why do) dog niggas (want a honey wit class?

sometimes you want more than just a honey wit ass)

uh, uh

hey yo, who would ever think that the two would go good?

midtown honey, nigga from the hood

but knock on wood, i got this bitch...(what?) excuse me

she don't like to be called a bitch, try not to lose me

the rules we go by, where i'm from, she don't know

when i say i'm goin around the way, she won't go

(hell no) c'mon baby, you aight wit me

tryin to get you, to spend the whole night wit me

(but i'm a good girl) uh, that's why i like her

couldn't treat her like a hoodrat, didn't bite her

turn a church girl to a straight ruff ryder

take her to the Ramada make it an all nighter

(oh no, i only go to the Swiss hotel)

fuckin wit me? i have you in the back of the Chevelle

like what, hittin it raw dog in the butt

you was good this mornin, but tonight you a slut

[chorus]

why do (good girls) like bad guys

knowin that bad guys tell mad lies?

(and why do) dog niggas (want a honey wit class?

sometimes you want more than just a honey wit ass)

hey yo boo, why do (good girls) like bad guys

knowin that bad guys tell mad lies?

(then why do) dog niggas (want a honey wit class?

sometimes you want more than just a honey wit ass)

(hey yo boo, i'm diggin you, cuz you make me wanna do

all them things i was taught i wasn't supposed to

i'm secure, keep it tight while you on tour)

you fuckin wit a dog (that's why i'm feelin you more

attractive to me, wit your tactics

hit it like ahhh! make me backflip

(you be tryin to act, rich, that's why i attacked you

and i just got married (hell, but i ain't even ask you)

i'm just tellin you, cuz nowadays, bitches be flippin

(one more bitch, i'm skippin) damn girl, stop trippin

(cuz you be actin like...) listen, i ain't always talkin money

but i will keep you wit a smile, and walkin funny

so what's it gonna be? (yo, what you mean?) what to do?

you want the nigga wit the slacks? or the jeans and the boots?

you wanna be safe or be laced? cuz you can be replaced

(yeah, you can be erased) don't get slapped, babyface

[chorus]

man, i got shorty stayin out late (well, i keep him wit a cut

and his nails stay clean) at least i get a nutt

and i got honey rebellin (and i stopped him from sellin)

you be gettin away wit murder, right? (shit, i ain't tellin)

straight out the hood (yeah, nigga, you get mushy)

i got honey suckin dick (and i got you eatin pussy)

i can be good in a bad way (i can be bad in a good way)

girl, you ain't the same dog (that's what the rats in the hood say

or would say if you was around them more often)

i got honey smokin weed (he be havin me coughin)

she keeps the dog on the leash (when we walk in the streets)

and if ya'll think it's sweet (then the dog's off the leash

now i don't want no drama, wit no baby's mama

i might be a good girl, but i keeps the armor)

good girls like bad guys
