Bad
찢옹랑·쌤옹祈 Michael Jackson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your butt is mine
Gonna tell you right
Just show your face
In broad daylight
I'm telling you
On how I feel
Gonna hurt your mind
Don't shoot to kill
Come on

Come on
Lay it on me
All right

I'm giving you
On count of three
To show your stuff
Or let it be
I'm telling you
Just watch your mouth
I know your game
What you're about

Well they say the sky's the limit
And to me that's really true
But my friend you have seen nothin'
Just wait 'til I get through

Because I'm bad, I'm bad come on
You know I'm bad, I'm bad come on, you know
You know I'm bad, I'm bad come on, you know
And the whole world has to
Answer right now
Just to tell you once again
Who's bad

The word is out
You're doin' wrong
Gonna lock you up
Before too long
Your lyin' eyes
Gonna tell you right
So listen up
Don't make a fight
Your talk is cheap
You're not a man
You're throwin' stones
To hide your hands

But they say the sky's the limit
And to me that's really true
And my friends you have seen nothin'
Just wait 'til I get through

Because I'm bad, I'm bad come on
You know I'm bad, I'm bad come on, you know
You know I'm bad, I'm bad come on, you know
And the whole world has to
Answer right now
Just to tell you once again
Who's bad

We can change the world tomorrow
This could be a better place
If you don't like what I'm sayin'
Then won't you slap my face

Because I'm bad, I'm bad come on
You know I'm bad, I'm bad come on, you know
You know I'm bad, I'm bad come on, you know
And the whole world has to
Answer right now
Just to tell you once again
Who's bad

Because I'm bad, I'm bad come on
You know I'm bad, I'm bad come on, you know
You know I'm bad, I'm bad come on, you know
And the whole world has to
Answer right now
Just to tell you once again
Who's bad

Baby, dime la verdad
Si te olvidaste de mí
Yo sé que fue una noche na' má'
Que no se vuelve a repetir
Tal ve' en ti quise encontrar
Lo que en otra perdí
Tu orgullo no me quiere hablar
Entonce' vamo' a competir, a ver, ey
No me gusta perder
Dime qué vamo' a hacer
Me paso mirando el cel
Wow, no puede ser
Aunque me tarde un poco, juro que vo'a responder
Quisiera volverte a ver
Quisiera volverte a ver encima de mí brincando, uh, uh, uh
Lo rica que te ves chingando, uh, uh, uh
No sé qué estamo' esperando
El orgullo nos está ganando, ey
Baby, dime la verdad
Si te olvidaste de mí
Yo sé que fue una noche na' má'
Que no se vuelve a repetir
Tal ve' en ti quise encontrar, ey
Lo que en otra perdí
Tu orgullo no me quiere hablar
Entonce' vamo' a competir, a ver, ey
Uh, desde que nos vimo' pienso en
Cómo nos comimo', ey
Después dividimo', cada cual por su camino
En la alfombra aún están las mancha' de vino
¿Dónde está ese totito? Que lleva tiempo perdido
Si te digo que me gusta', que estás buena
No lo tome' por cumplido
Es que yo soy un bellaco
Es que yo soy un atrevido, ey
Y hace tiempo que quiero chingar contigo
Mami, te vo'a dar
Hasta que te duela la popola como a Glo (Glo)
Me gusta tu flow (flow)
Tranquilita tú siempre te roba' el show (ey)
Una perversa, le vo'a dar dembow (mami)
Si se pone en cuatro, I go where she goes
So, mami, dime a ver
I wanna feel that pussy again
Tú tiene' piquete y yo también (yo también)
Por poco pierdo y te envío un DM, ey
Pa' decirte la verdad
Que no me he olvida'o de ti
Yo sé que fue una noche na' má'
Que no se vuelve a repetir
Tal vez en ti quise encontrar
Lo que en otra perdí
Tu orgullo no me quiere hablar
Entonce' vamo' a competir, a ver, ey
