When I was younger, about only five My mama pulled me aside She told me remember That every December Santa’s gonna arrive
I wrote him a letter Said I’d been good gettin’ better I need that Nintendo (Need that Nintendo), to play with my friends Oh-oh, we’d stay up all night
'Cause I want it (I want it) I want it bad (Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme) I want it bad (Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme)
Went to a party when I was a teen But I could barely be seen Some girls, they were talking ‘bout that band that was rockin’ Knew it had to be me
Smoke on the water And somebody’s daughter on the six string I knew that December (Knew that December) I’d ask for a Fender Start living the dream
'Cause I want it (I want it) I want it bad (Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme) I want it bad (Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme) 'Cause I want it (I want it) I want it bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
(Guitar solo)
Now that I’m older, kids all left home I’m spending nights on my own It’s Christmas again and I’m thinking ‘bout when We used to play in the snow
Then winters got colder And not enough friends coming over I’m chasing that feeling (Chasing that feeling), it’s got me believing I can’t wait anymore
'Cause I want it (I want it) I want it bad (Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme) I want it bad (Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme) 'Cause I want it (I want it) I want it bad (Want it bad) I want it bad (Want it bad) Oh, want it bad (Want it bad) Oh, want it bad (Want it bad)
