Born To Be Bad

The Runaways Born To Be Bad Lyrics
1.All Right Now

( a. fraser / p. rodgers)

There she stood in the street
Smiling from her head to her feet
I said hey what is this
Now maybe baby
Maybe you're in need for a kiss
I said slow don't talk so fast
Don't you think that love can last
She said love lord above
Now you're trying to trick me in love

All right now
Baby it's all right now
All right now
Baby it's all right now

I took her home to my place
Watching every move on her face
She said look what's your game
Are you trying to put me in shame
I said slow don't talk so fast
Don't you think that love can last
She said love lord above
Now you're tryin' to trick me in love

All right now
Baby it's all right now
All right now
Baby it's all right now

All right now
Baby it's all right now
All right now
Baby it's all right now


2.American Nights

(m. anthony/k. fowley)

Clean rock n roll
Makes the midnight flow tonight now
It's hot tonight
Come on let's have a good time
In the dark of the night
We hunt for fun
Chasing after the moonlight
Hiding from the sun

American nights
You kids are so strange
American nights
You're never gonna change

Our magic is young
Cause we just begun
We light up the sky
Always on the run
We live in the streets
In the alleys of screams
Cause we're the queens of noise
The answer to your dreams

American nights
You kids are so strange
American nights
You're never gonna change

Hey boy you're my good time
Dance close ya feel so fine
Hold tight we're on fire
All night you're my desire

Everybody
Wanna party
Everybody
Wanna party

American nights
You kids are so strange
American nights
You're never gonna change


3.Born To Be Bad

(k. fowley/s. west/m. steele)

Bodies without minds
I hear you're the one with the bleeding heart
Blue and bittersweet
You tear my dreams apart

Cause i was born to be bad
I'm not sad
But i'm glad i did it
Born to be bad
I'm not sad why don't you all get with it

The damned don't cry
Cry out when they're betrayed
Bodies slam they scream
As the keynotes fade

Cause i was born to be bad
I'm not sad
But i'm glad i did it
Born to be bad
I'm not sad why don't you all get with it

I called my mother from hollywood the other day
And i said 'mom, i just called to tell ya i joined a rock and
roll band
And i won't be coming home no more'
You know what she did?
She started crying and weeping and wimpering like all mothers do
She woke up my father and told him about it and he said
'there ain't a damn thing we can do, thats the way she is
She was just born to be bad'

I want you to bring me his ears
To satisfy my mad desires
And if he bites the dust
We'll just have to miss my fire

Cause i was born to be bad
I'm not sad
But i'm glad i did it
Born to be bad
I'm not sad why don't you all get with it


4.California Paradise

(k. fowley/j. jett/k. krome/s. west)

Turn up that radio
Hear the rock and roll
Malibu shines like summer gold
Wild beaches
In the salty wind
California summers never end

California - you're so nice
California - your paradise

The kids are ripping up the streets
In their super cars
All night parties and loud guitars
Hot hot neighbourhoods
Its the silver sound
Wicked hollywood goes round and round

California - you're so nice
California - your paradise


5.I'm A Star


6.Is It Day Or Night

(kim fowley)

I don't like to live alone
Out on the avenue
I can't go back to being straight
I've seen the gutter view

Is it day or night?
Porcupine kiss, novacaine lips
Is it day or night?
White flowers weep
In their warm dust sleep
And its dog eat dog tonight

Back door to insanity
Was ripped from their throats
Street wise hustlers and six string masters
Look cold in their over coats

Is it day or night?
Porcupine kiss, novacaine lips
Is it day or night?
White flowers weep
In their warm dust sleep
And its dog eat dog tonight


7.Let's Party Tonight


8.Rock And Roll

(l. reed)

Ginni said when she was five years old
You know there's nothing going down at all
She turned on that radio
And there was nothing happenin' at all
She turned on that la station
Couldn't believe what she heard at all
She started dancing to that fine fine music
Her life was saved by rock and roll

Despite all the complications
You could just dance to that rock and roll station
And it was alright
It was alright
It was alright
It was alright, you betcha

Ginni said when she was five years old
You know our parents will be the death of us all
Two tv sets and two cadillac cars
Well they don't mean nothin' at all
She turned on that la station
Couldn't believe what she heard at all
She started dancin' to that fine fine music
Her life was saved by rock and roll

Despite all the complications
You could just dance to that rock and roll station
And it was alright
It was alright
It was alright
It was alright, you betcha


9.Thunder

(m. anthony/k. krome)

When the moon is out it starts to shine
Thunder crashes want to make you mine
The sky lights up in my mind
Fireworks between us you'll find

And its thunder
The spell that i'm under
It's thunder
I see lightning crash
And its thunder
Oh how our love flashes
It's thunder
Don't need no other feeling

All the others their just the same
But oh my baby your a hurricane
Let me be your battered angel
So you can be my tattered devil

And its thunder
The spell that i'm under
It's thunder
I see lightning crash
And its thunder
Oh how our love flashes
It's thunder
Don't need no other feeling

Your my teenage fire
That's in my heart
Now our flaming love is gonna start
Oh its gonna start


10.Wild Thing

(chip taylor)

Wild thing, i think i need you
But i gotta know for sure
Come on and squeeze me tight
Oh i need it

Wild thing
You make my heart sing
You make everything
Come on, wild thing
