Even Bad Girls (Settle Down Sometimes)
I've been feeling my sweet heart
outweighing my trouble spun soul.
All my life I've been a digger,
and now I want out of the hole.
Back roads and alternate routes,
I missed all the scenic views.
Settled for the dirt and grime,
made my bed and I did my time.
Now I think I'd like to cruise,
it's been a long time in these shoes.
I'm aware that my reputation
don't leave much to imagination
and I know what is on your mind
but even bad girls settle down sometimes.
I've been thinking hard about it,
and I'll trade my whiskey for wine.
No more take out Chinese,
we can go out, sit in, and dine.
I know I have my routines,
and that I look hard to open.
but I'm no good with the rules
and molds were meant to be broken.
I'm aware that my reputation
don't leave much to imagination
and I know what is on your mind
but even bad girls settle down sometimes.
I would gladly spend my Friday nights
alone with you and some dimmed lights.
and to answer your question, no,
I didn't see you coming, so
this is a little off the cusp
and what do I know about love?
not much, but I can sense my luck
is about to start changing.

don't leave much to imagination

but even bad girls settle down sometimes.
