Ripped Off Songtext
von Loleatta Holloway

Ripped off
Robbed and cheated
Been mistreated
Love, I need it bad (so bad)
Bad, bad (so bad)

Ripped off
Robbed and cheated
Been mistreated
Love, I need it bad (I need it bad)
Bad, bad (I need it bad) so bad

Never was a time
That I wouldn′t give you my last dime (my last dime)
And when my love went down
You would never know where to be found (to be found)

Oh, first, you took my love
Then you pawned my diamond ring
You left me hanging high
Like a puppet on a string
Why?


Ripped off (ripped off)
Robbed and cheated (robbed and cheated)
Been mistreated (been mistreated)
Love, I need it bad (I need it bad)
Bad, bad (I need it bad)

Ripped off (ripped off)
Robbed and cheated (robbed and cheated)
Been mistreated (I've been mistreated)
Love, I need it bad (oh, I need it bad)
Bad, bad (I need it bad) so bad

Go and have your fun
But one day, you′ll be the sorry one (sorry one)
Oh, you didn't have to steal
Something that was real
Just for a thrill, oh (for a thrill)

I should have known
That you have one thing in mind
But I can guarantee it won't happen the second time
Not in my lifetime

Ripped off (ripped off)
Robbed and cheated (robbed and cheated)
Been mistreated (I′ve been mistreated)
Love, I need it bad (so bad)
Bad (so) bad


Ripped off (I′ve been ripped off)
Robbed and cheated (robbed and cheated)
Been mistreated (I've been mistreated)
Love, I need it bad (I need it bad)
Bad, bad (I need it bad)

Ripped off (ripped off)
Robbed and cheated (robbed and cheated)
Been mistreated (I′ve been mistreated)
Love I need it bad (love I need it, need it bad)
Bad, bad (I need it bad)

Ripped off (ripped off)
Robbed and cheated (robbed and cheated)
Been mistreated (been mistreated)
Love I need it bad (love I need it bad)
Bad, bad, so bad

Aah-aah-aah
Hmm-mm-mm

Pawn diamond ring I've been ripped off (oh)
Pawn diamond ring I′ve been ripped off (oh-ah)
Pawn diamond ring I've been ripped off (oh-ah)
Pawn diamond ring, I′ve been ripped off

Oh-ah, oh, oh-wee, yeah
Why you wanna do it to me, baby?
Would I, I
I gave you all the love that I had, yeah
Oh-oh, uh-huh
Pawn my diamond ring

Ripped off (ripped off)
Robbed and cheated (robbed and cheated)
Been mistreated (been mistreated)
Love, I need it bad (love I need it bad)
Bad, bad (I need it bad)

Ripped off (ripped off)
Robbed and cheated (I've been ripped off, baby)
Been mistreated (why you want to do it to me)
Love, I need it bad (bad)
Bad (so) bad

Ripped off (ripped me off)
Robbed and cheated (oh!)
Been mistreated (would've given it to you anyway, baby)
Love I need it bad (I need it bad)
Bad, bad (I need it bad)

Ripped off (I′ve been ripped off)
Robbed and cheated
Been mistreated (been mistreated)
Love, I need it bad (all I wanted to do is love you, baby)
