    Dm
Ah lazy eyes in the summer heat
A#
Fresh from outta town
Dm
Now she's working on the street
A#
Shakin' poor boys down

Chorus:
    Am
Uh (girl) uh girl gone bad
(Girl) girl gone bad

Found that girl with a lonesome John
But she should've been with me
Guess that woman fallen in love
She don't work for free

Chorus:
Girl gone bad yeah, ah, ah, ah
Girl gone bad
(Girl) girl gone bad

Girl (ow, yeah)
Girl (oh oh oh)
Girl (yeah, yeah)
Girl (say, say)
