LYRICS

VERSE
I was never a good girl, no
I had cruel intentions
Use to paint my own world, yes
With Jane’s Addictions

PRE-CHORUS
Ave Maria
That’s what they told me  
Ave Maria
That’s what they said

CHORUS
I’m a bad, bad, bad, bad girl
That’s what they told me
I’m a bad, bad, bad, bad girl
That’s what they said
Cheers to the bad me
Cheers to my faith
Hail Mother Mary
And here’s to my fate
I’m a bad, bad, bad, bad girl

VERSE 2
I use to kiss all the boys ka whakataruna
Just to hide my secrets matetāne ana (I would flirt with the boys, and play them)
Use to treat them like toys, e kore e kitea (ai)
Ask for God’s forgiveness, aku taera (in order to keep my sexuality hidden)

PRE-CHORUS
Ave Maria Awe Maria
That’s what they told me tā rātou i kī mai (that’s what they told me)
Ave Maria Awe Maria
That’s what they said koia te kupu (that was their words)

CHORUS
I’m a bad, bad, bad, bad girl, E hine, kua hē ngā rā (Girl, you are bad* note: this is also an idiom for ‘lost the plot’)
That’s what they told me, tā rātou i kī mai (that’s what they told me)    
I’m a bad, bad, bad, bad girl e hine, kua hē ngā rā
That’s what they said koia te kupu (that was their words)
Cheers to the bad me ko tōku mana

Cheers to my faith, nō mai anō (My divinity derives from the very beginnings of time)
Hail Mother Mary, Mānawatia
And here’s to my fate, te whaea o te ao (Hail Mary the mother of the world)
I’m a bad, bad, bad, bad girl, e hine, kua hē ngā rā (Girl, you are bad)

PRE-CHORUS
Ave Maria
That’s what they told me
Ave Maria
That’s what they said
Ave Maria
That’s what they told me
Ave Maria
That’s what they said

CHOIR call and response
She’s a bad girl
