Lyrics
Intro
Mmm… they say I should be sorry… should beg, should pray…
Oh, but honey… saints don’t get to walk away.
Instrumental - Piano slinks in, bass hums low, drums tap like slow footsteps down a dark alley
Verse 1
I got a red dress, I got a bad name,
Got a past full of lovers who all played the same.
Mama said, ‘Girl, you better change your ways…’
But mama, I was born to misbehave.
Instrumental - Trumpet teases, sliding behind her words, piano flickers like candlelight
Chorus
No, I ain’t no saint, never claimed to be,
I don’t wear white, it don’t look right on me.
I kiss too hard, I drink too deep,
And honey, bad girls never lose no sleep.
Instrumental - Piano rolls, bass thumps, trumpet flares just a little, like a devil whispering in your ear
Verse 2
They call me trouble, they call me wild,
Said I should settle down, should try to be mild.
But baby, I ain't built for a quiet life…
I need heat, I need whiskey, I need Friday night.
Instrumental - Trumpet wails, drums shuffle behind her, bass pulses low and knowing
Chorus
No, I ain’t no saint, never claimed to be,
I don’t wear white, it don’t look right on me.
I kiss too hard, I drink too deep,
And honey, bad girls never lose no sleep.
Instrumental - Piano flirts, trumpet sings, drums slow like the pulse of a sin too sweet to stop.
Bridge
I could be good, I could be pure,
Oh, but sugar… where’s the fun in that?
So if you came here lookin’ for heaven, baby…
You took a wrong damn turn.
Instrumental - Band hushes, just the low bass, just the distant wail of a lonely trumpet.
Final Chorus
No, I ain’t no saint, never claimed to be,
I don’t wear white, it don’t look right on me.
I kiss too hard, I drink too deep,
And honey, bad girls never lose no sleep.
Instrumental - Trumpet flares, the band swells, then hushes into a slow, smoky fade
Outro
"You best run home now, sugar… before you end up just as lost as me."
Instrumental - Piano lingers, the last note fading like a kiss that should’ve never happened.
