[Verse 1]
a book
by it's cover
Don't you tell [Cm]me I'm
[C]so good and so fine
Cause I was [Cm]raised [C]in the streets of the gutter
I felt your love for me blind, no eyes
Cause you see,
[G]I dabbled so long at the bot[Em]tom
Till I was [D]strong, till I reached the [C]top
Cause I [G]was born good to be [C]bad
Lord, I had to [F]fight for
[C]everything that [G]I had
Listen baby, born good to be [C]bad
And lovin' me [F]can only [C]make you [G]sad
Mad sad
[Gm]Fee -fee -fi -fo -fun
I'm public enemy number one
Listen, baby
Fee -fee -fi -fo -fun
Tell you I'm a real bad son of a [C]gun
The kickin ''s so downtrodden
Hustlin' so hard out there
in the streets
You've got to bow to the
people surrounding
When you ain't got a bite to eat
[Cm]Oh, [C]baby, but it ain't e[G]asy
to be cold -hearted
[Em]Baby[G], when you say t[D]he
sweet loving [C]things
You know I [G]was born to be [C]there

Oh, [Cm]don't ask me cause I won't [G]give up,
give up my suc[Em]cess
[G]For ten hundred [D]years I'll bleed this milk
[C]Though I lov[G]e you,
I can't do what you [Em]ask [G]me
Until I'm [D]on top and dressed in silk
[C]Cause I was[G] born, listen to me man[C]
You know I had to [F]hope for
everything that [Gm]I had
I [G]tell you [Gm]I was bor[G]n, huh, to be ba[C]d
And loving [F]me would only make you [G]sad
Listen baby, I was born, huh, to be [C]bad
I've got to [F]hope for
everything that I listened
Ask your friends, I was born, huh, to be
