Lyrics

🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤

I’ve never seen the inside of a bar roomOr listened to a Jukebox all night longBut I see these are the things that bring you pleasureSo I’m gonna make some changes in our home
I’ve heard it said if you can’t beat ’em join ’emSo if that’s the way you wanted me to beI’ll change if it takes that to make you happyFrom now on you’re gonna see a different me
Because your good girl’s gonna go badI’m gonna be the swinginest swinger you’ve ever hadIf you like ’em painted up, powdered upThen you oughta be glad‘Cause your good girl’s gonna go bad
I’ll even learn to like the taste of whiskyIn fact, you’ll hardly recognise your wifeI’ll buy some brand new clothes and dress up fancyFor my journey to the wilder side of life
Because your good girl’s gonna go badI’m gonna be the swinginest swinger you’ve ever hadIf you like ’em painted up, powdered upThen you oughta be glad‘Cause your good girl’s gonna go bad
Oh yeah, your good girl’s gonna go bad
