When you left the house this evening,
You said you’d be back in a little while
Well I’ve been waiting for such a long time,
And this wait is driving me wild…
And while I wait I think about you,
Do you need me when I’m not there?
Are you planning to be without me?
Do you have a new attract?
You’re a bad bad woman
You’re a bad bad woman
If he is on you…
It keeps flashing through my mind,
If you would only call,
If you would be so kind.
Imagine things,
I see another man
And it’s this waiting I just can’t stand…
You’re a bad bad woman
You’re a bad bad woman
You’re a bad bad woman
You’re a bad bad woman
