Girl, you've never known no one like me
Up there in your high society
They might tell you I'm no good
Girl, they need to understand just who I am

I may be a real bad boy
But baby, I'm a real good man

I may drink too much and play too loud
Hang out with a rough and rowdy crowd
That don't mean I don't respect
My mama or my Uncle Sam, yes sir, yes ma'am

I may be a real bad boy
But baby, I'm a real good man

I might have a reckless streak
At least a country mile wide
If you're gonna run with me
It's gonna be a wild ride

When it comes to lovin' you
I've got velvet hands
I'll show you how a real bad boy
Can be a real good man
Here we go

I'll take all the good times I can get
I'm too young for growing up just yet
Ain't much I can promise you
Except to do the best I can, I'll be damned

I may be a real bad boy
But baby, I'm a real good man
I may be a real bad boy
Oh but baby, I'm a real good man, yes, I am
