Fm                       G#
I've got a fever, come check it and see
Fm                            G#
There's something burning and rolling in me
A#m                             C#
We may not last but we'll have fun till it ends
Fm                 G#
C'mon baby, be my bad boyfriend

I wanna hear you call out my name
I wanna see you burn up in flames
Keep you on ice so I can show all my friends
C'mon baby, be my bad boyfriend

So ripe, so sweet, come suck it and see
But watch out, daddy, I sting like a bee
I know some tricks I swear will give you the bends
C'mon baby, be my bad boyfriend

My fever's rising, you ran into luck
Say what sugar, you wanna get what?
I wanna give you one hundred and ten
C'mon baby, be my bad boyfriend

A#m            C#
It's wild the way you tease me
C              D#
It's wild the way you free me
A#m            C#
It's wild the way you reach me
C                      D#             Fm G#
Wrapped me up in your wire from the start

You've got the women waiting in line
I'm not asking you to make up your mind
But I can make you happy, at least now and then
I've got something special for my bad boyfriend

If you can't love me, honey, go on, just pretend
I've saved something special for the very end
If you can't love me, honey, go on, just pretend
C'mon baby, be my bad boyfriend

Oh, c'mon baby, be my bad boyfriend
C'mon baby, be my bad boyfriend
C'mon baby, be my bad boyfriend
C'mon baby, be my bad boyfriend
