Bad girl (1-2-3-4)
Hey, hey
I let you walk all over me, me
You know that I’m a little tease, tease
But I wanna play there please, please
You know you know you know I’m crazy
I just wanna be your baby
You can fuck me and then play me
You love and you can hate me
Miss me, miss me, now you wanna kiss me
Try me because I said so
Struck me within my ego
I’ve been a bad girl, don’t you know?
(Don’t tell me what’s your deal)
Come get it now or never
I’ll let you do whatever
I’ll be your bad girl, bad girl
(1-2-3-4)
Miss me, miss me, now you wanna kiss me
Baby, you know I want a little taste, taste
So let me take you all the way way
You know you’ll never be the same same
Before the bad girl!
One night, you won’t forget the rest of your life
So come on over to the wild side
Buckle up and baby hold on tight
Miss me, miss me, now you wanna kiss me
We both know that love is wasting so fast
Try me because I said so
Struck me within my ego
I’ve been a bad girl, don’t you know?
(Don’t tell me what’s your deal)
Come get it now or never
I’ll let you do whatever
I’ll be your bad girl, bad girl
(1-2-3-4)
I’ve been a bad girl
I’ve been a bad girl
I’ve been a bad girl
I’ve been a bad girl
I’ve been a bad girl
I’ve been a bad girl
I’ve been a bad girl
I’ve got your bad girl
Try me because I said so
Struck me within my ego
I’ve been a bad girl, don’t you know?
(Don’t tell me what’s your deal)
Come get it now or never
I’ll let you do whatever
I’ll be your bad girl, bad girl
(1-2-3-4)
Bad bad bad girl
The lyrics to Avril Lavigne feat. Marilyn Manson's song "Bad Girl" tell the story of a woman who wants to be seen as a “bad girl” and is willing to let a man treat her any way he wants in order to get that thrill. She invites him to dominate her, but at the same time, begs him to stay with her. She wants to be wanted, even if that means being mistreated. She goes back and forth between being fierce and vulnerable, desperate for the man's attention and validation.
The chorus, "Miss me, miss me, now you wanna kiss me," shows the woman's power and the effect she has on the man. She knows what she wants and believes there is no shame in getting it. The overall message of the song is one of sexual empowerment for women, but it also speaks to the potential dangers of being in a sexually dominant/submissive relationship.
Overall, the lyrics are provocative and slightly disturbing. The collaboration between Avril Lavigne and Marilyn Manson adds to the eerie atmosphere of the song.
