WRITTEN AFTER A TRIUMPHANT FIGHT

I'm the baddest girl in the world

I'm as bad as Super Fly

and I don't need coke to get me high.

I can beat you, Jack

and you better get back

when the Vega's come around.

We'll kick your ass, and make it last,

I got evil eye, and you sure gotta try

to put me on the ground.

I don't play, hey, you know what I say

when I say it or pay.

I can stare you down,

make you crawl on the ground.

I'm action, no talk, when I say to you walk, I'm not the kind you can knock.

I use only my hands, no bottles for me

But I got plans, and you won't go home free.

When I don't smile, you know you're in trouble

'cause I can get wild, I ain't got no double.

I can make you cry, I can make you wanna die.

No one beat me yet, and they ain't gonna get the chance.

I can take mine and the little folks at the same time.

I'm the baddest girl in the world.

Suzanne Vega
(December, 1972)
