As a single Bad Girl might have scored rather poorly, but the video by David Fincher is a true masterpiece. Actor Christopher Walken is a guardian angel, watching over bad girl Madonna.

Lyrics
Something's missing and I don't know why
I always feel the need to hide my feelings from you Is it me or you that I'm afraid of I tell myself I'll show you what I'm made of Can't bring myself to let you go Don't want to cause you any pain But I love you just the same And you'll always be my baby In my heart I know we've come apart And I don't know where to start What can I do I don't wanna feel blue Bad girl drunk by six Kissing someone else's lips Smoked too many cigarettes today I'm not happy when I act this way Bad girl drunk by six Kissing some kind stranger's lips Smoked too many cigarettes today I'm not happy I'm not happy Something's happened and I can't go back I fall apart every time you hand your heart out to me What happens now I know I don't deserve you I wonder how I'm ever gonna hurt you Can't bring myself to let you go I don't want to cause you any pain But I love you just the same And you'll always be my baby In my heart I know we've come apart And I don't know where to start What can I do I don't wanna feel blue Bad girl drunk by six Kissing someone else's lips Smoked too many cigarettes today I'm not happy when I act this way Bad girl drunk by six Kissing some kind stranger's lips Smoked too many cigarettes today I'm not happy I'm not happy This way I don't want to cause you any pain But I love you just the same And you'll always be my baby In my heart I know we've come apart And I don't know where to start What can I do I don't wanna feel blue Bad girl drunk by six Kissing someone else's lips Smoked too many cigarettes today I'm not happy when I act this way Bad girl drunk by six Kissing someone else's lips Smoked too many cigarettes today I'm not happy when I act this way I'm not happy This way Bad girl drunk by six (I'm not happy) Kissing someone else's lips (this way) Smoked too many cigarettes today I'm not happy when I act this way Bad girl drunk by six Kissing someone else's lips Smoked too many cigarettes today I'm not happy I'm not happy This way Not happy this way Kissing some kind stranger's lips   |

It’s the first question that anybody asks me, even today: What was it like to work with Madonna? People think that maybe something dramatic or interesting or kind of wild might have happened, based on, you know, Madonna’s persona. But I would say that Madonna was probably the easiest job I ever had — the most cooperation from a recording artist I think I ever had. She was a true professional, even at that young age. It was ’83, and at that point I had my own small design firm. Warner Bros. called and asked me to do her cover as a freelance designer. When I got the call, I rolled my eyes, because it was another [musician with a] one-word name. At that time it had become cliché to have a one-word name, because of Cher, so I remember thinking, God, it’s going to be one of those. So I really went into it with very little expec...
