you were dancing on a table
and you looked so
different
"i want to loosen up," you said
with a mischievous glint in your eyes
you let down your hair
which was pinned so tight to your head
i hadn't realized how pretty
your hair was
you begged me to drive
"go faster!" you screamed into the night
challenging God to strike you down
so i stomped the accelerator and laughed
and you stuck your head out the window
your suddenly pretty hair roaring in the wind
you said something to me
but the wind stole your voice
wanting to keep your secrets
away from me
i wanted to know your secrets
i hadn't wanted to know before
the pretty little picture
had a wild side
and i liked it
there's something a girl
who's unpredictable
confident
and wild
"bad girls"
something i like
and that's when i started
to like you
