Bad girls, Bad boys? Why do we love them?

As a man looking back to the past, I always think about the girls that were no good, they treated me like nothing and prefered the company of men who treated them like property. I had the looks, the car, the skill, but still they licked the gutter just to get the sugar taste out of thier mouths. Know what I mean? So why waste energy on the abuse? Thoughts? Tales of woe?
