Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning

I want you so hard
I want you so good
But can you trust me?
Yes, you know you could
My friends are talkin'
And they're tellin' you

Don't waste your time 'cause the boy's bad news

My friends are talkin'
And they're tellin' you

Just leave him alone 'cause the boy's bad news

I want you so hard
I want you so good
Now take a chance, momma
You know you should
Trust your instincts and let me in
Just be my ride and I'll be my friend
My friends are talkin'
And they're tellin' you

You're wastin' your time, the boy's bad news

My friends are talkin'
And they're tellin' you

Leave him alone, 'cause it's just bad news

I want you so hard
I want you so good
But can you trust me?
Yes, you know you could
Trust your instincts and let me in
Just be my ride and I'll be my friend
My friends are talkin'

Don't waste your time 'cause the boy's bad news

My friends are talkin'
And they're tellin' you

Just leave him alone 'cause the boy's bad news

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Eagles of Death Metal's "I Want You So Hard" describe a man's desire for a woman despite the warnings from his friends that he's "bad news." The male protagonist admits to wanting the woman so much and hoping she can trust him, but his friends keep telling her to avoid him. He urges her to trust her instincts and let him in. The repetition of the phrase "my friends are talking" emphasizes the importance of the opinions of those around them and the power of social influence on the perceptions of love.


The theme of the song is typical of rock and roll, playing with the idea of the 'bad boy' whose rebellious nature makes him irresistible to women despite the obvious risks to their hearts. The lyrics suggest that sometimes, the lure of passion conquers rational thinking and good judgment. The chorus expresses the protagonist's own doubts about himself, admitting that he is "bad news." The lyrics also speak to the tension between the need for connection and desire for independence.

I want you so hard
I desire you immensely


I want you so good
I want you in the best possible way


But can you trust me?
I understand your hesitation and doubt


Yes, you know you could
I assure you that I am trustworthy


My friends are talkin'
People close to me are discussing our situation


And they're tellin' you
They are warning you about me


Don't waste your time 'cause the boy's bad news

They advise you to stay away from me

I am urging you to give me a chance


You know you should
I believe you will not regret it

Just be with me and let's be friends


Bad news
I am not a good option for you


Ooh, the boy's bad news

Dave Grohl drummed for QOTSA, once upon a time, and here Josh Homme is drumming for EODM. What an awesome circle of rock.

This is the first time I've heard of this band and I gotta to say, these guys are pretty good.

To all the members of EoDM: My condolences to you all. My thoughts are with you. You were just as much victims of this horrible tragedy as the others were. Take care of yourselves, lean on your families and friends for support.

90 French citizens died in the Bataclan killings. It was an attack on French and American freedom.

I thinks it is simply brilliant that Tenacious D and Dave Grohl appear in videos like these, it gives a sense that they're all supporting eachother because their sounds are similar (Not directly but all three of these bands definitely have a sense of humour, and that's why their amazing.)

Supporting each other or creating a pact to force their suckage on us!
