"Bad Girls" is a
song by American Singer Donna Summer from her 1979 seventh studio album of the same
name, released as the second single from the Bad Girls album on June 23, 1979,
through Casablanca Records. The song was produced by Summer's regular
collaborators Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte, and co-written by Summer and
the Brooklyn Dreams.
"Bad Girls" became a worldwide success, peaking
within the top-ten in seven countries, including Spain and New Zealand. In
the United States, it spent five weeks at number-one on the Billboard Hot 100,
from the weeks of July 14, 1979 to August 11, 1979; and sold over two million
copies, simultaneously becoming, alongside "Hot Stuff", her most successful
single. The single, which was the second-biggest song of 1979, also helped the Bad
Girls album to reach the multi-platinum status in the US. Summer placed three songs in the
Top 12 of the Billboard 1979 year-end charts.
Bad girls
Talking about the sad girls
Sad girls
Talking about bad girls, yeah
See them out on the street at night, walkin'
Picking up on all kinds of strangers
If the price is right
You can't score if you're pocket's tight
But you want a good time
You ask yourself who they are
Like everybody else
They come from near and far
Bad girls, yeah
Bad girls
Talking about the sad girls, yeah
Sad girls
Talking about bad girls, yeah
Friday night and the strip is hot
Sun's gone down and they're out to trot
Spirit's high and legs look hot
Do you wanna get down
Now don't you ask yourself who they are
Like everybody else, they wanna be a star
Bad girl
Sad girl, you're such a naughty bad girl
Beep-Beep, uh-uh
You bad girl you sad girl
Your such a dirty bad girl
Beep-Beep, uh-uh
Now you and me we're both the same
But you call yourself by different names
Now your mama won't like it when she finds out
That her girl is out at night
Hey, Mister, have you got a dime
Mister, do you want to spent some time
Oh, yeah
I got what you want, you got what I need
I'll be your baby, come and spend it on me
Hey, Mister
I'll spend some time with you.
I'll spend some time with you.
