What are the possibilities to use "so bad" or "so badly" as something good?
I've seen the sentense. "I want you so bad". In this case I assume that it means "I want you so much". Right?
Thus, can I use the same concept for the folowing sentences?
I like something/someone so bad/so badly.
I need something/someone so bad/so badly.
I hate something/someone so bad/so badly.
I wish something/someone so bad/so badly.

The only one which works is 'need'.
It's common to say that you want, need or miss something badly, but it doesn't usually collocate with other verbs.
