[English]

Oh yeah they tell me I'm a bad boy

All the ladies look at me and act coy

I just like to put my hands up in the air

I want that girl dancing over there

Look at her go on the dance floor

She's amazing on the dance floor

When she moves, girl, I want more

Keep it going, girl, like I got an encore

You got me sayin'

Go little bad girl, little bad girl

Go little bad girl

Go little bad girl

Oh yeah they tell me I'm a bad boy,

All the ladies look at me and act coy

I just like to put my hands up in the air

I want that girl dancing over there

Shaking her ass from the left to the right

Moving it round just the way that I like

I wanna see you move like a movie on flight

She got it how I want it and I want it all night

Look at her go on the dance floor

She's amazing on the dance floor

When she moves, girl, I want more

Keep it going, girl, like I got an encore

You got me sayin'

Go little bad girl, little bad girl

Go little bad girl (let's go)

Go little bad girl

She got my heart jumping

And my adrenaline pumpin' and gunnin'

Like ain't nobody ever seen (seen...)

'Matter of fact I've seen this woman all up in my dreams

Whippin' and flippin' and stackin' and slappin'

I'm attacking after she back it up and make it drop

After I meet her I tell her David Guetta's on the track, baby girl, don't stop

Keep it goin' you never know when somebody's gonna throw a couple dollars

Got a pocket full of hundred dollar bill's Ludacris mr. make-a-woman-hollar

And every night on the floor putting on a show (show...)

Everybody in the club there's a little something you should know

Look at her go on the dance floor

She's amazing on the dance floor

When she moves, girl, I want more

Keep it going, girl, like I got an encore

You got me sayin'

Go little bad girl, little bad girl

Go little bad girl

Go little bad girl

Go little bad girl, little bad girl

Go little bad girl

Go little bad girl
