  • I was just a kid working for the man for the first time
    Said listen kid you better heed my advice
    Treat 'em like dirt
    They stick forever to the bottom of your shoe oh
    I said Mr. Man that ain't nice
    You gotta treat a girl right
    Take her out wine and dine her
    Always be polite
    Kid, no good does do you
    But soon you'll see she don't want no goody two shoes

    Boy just a goody two
    Goody two shoes
    Just a goody two
    Two shoes

    You got style, you got grace
    Kid you try so hard she just laughs in your face
    You're a nice guy with the wrong attitude
    She want (bad boys bad boys all we want is bad boys)
    I treat her dirt she loves me good (so good)
    And I just hate to have to tell you
    Cause you're a nice guy but that just won't do
    She want (bad boys bad boys all we want is bad boys)

    Listen kid you hear them sirens coming for me
    But when I get downtown she will already be
    Posting bail in her favorite dress
    Smiling at me because I'm no good
    You can buy her everything she likes, and I'm sure she'll be alright
    But just you feel it, cause baby even spend the night
    Kid are good but just know that she'll be thinking of me,
    Even when she's with you

    Boy just a goody two
    Goody two shoes
    Just a goody two
    Two shoes

    You got style, you got grace
    Kid you try so hard she just laughs in your face
    You're a nice guy with the wrong attitude
    She want (bad boys bad boys all we want is bad boys)
    I treat her dirt she loves me good (so good)
    And I just hate to have to tell you
    Cause you're a nice guy but that just won't do
    She want (bad boys bad boys all we want is bad boys)

    Whoo alright now
    Singles ladies (yeah)
    I'm gonna need your help now
    (tell us whatcha want us to do now)
    (tell us whatcha want us to do now)
    I need help your girls
    (you're a bad boy)
    I say I need help now (help now)
    So bad (so bad)
    So good (so good)
    So bad (bad)
    Good (good)

    God damn you got style you got grace
    Kid you try so hard she just laughs in your face
    You're a nice guy with the wrong attitude
    She want (bad boys bad boys all we want is bad boys)
    I treat her dirt she loves me good(so good)
    And I just hate to have to tell you
    Cause you're a nice guy but that just won't do
    She want (bad boys bad boys all we want is bad boys)

    Boy just a goody two
    Goody two shoes
    Just a goody two
    Two shoes Writer/s: GABE SAPORTA, NIKIESHA BRISCOE, RAFAEL AKINYEMI
