Lyrics

(Kirsty MacColl) I've been the token woman all my life The token daughter and the token wife Now I collected tokens one by one 'Til I've saved enough to buy a gun Now you can't get even but you can get mad And it's not funny no and it's not sad It's just a feeling that I've always had Oh Look out world I'm about to be bad I want a brief encounter in a stolen car A hand on my buttock in a Spanish bar I want to meet the man who wants to go too far For a token of my affection I want to taste excitement Smell the danger Get swept off my feet by the perfect stranger I want to try something that I've never had Oh look out world I'm about to be bad I've been an awful woman all my life A dreadful daughter and a hopeless wife And I've had my eye on that carving knife Oh you've been lucky so far I'm not crazy no I'm just mad I don't want to be sorry No I want to be glad It's just a feeling inside that I have always had So look out world I'm about to be bad
