Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Get yourself a bad boy
(Yeah I like this, ha ha)
If you want it to be wild
Gotta know just who to dial baby (that's me)
If you really like it hot
Find someone who hits the spot honey (oh yes)
And if you want to get it done
Babe you gotta get the one
The one who's got it goin' on
If you wanna make it last
Gotta know just who to ask
Babe he's gotta be the best (tonight it's me)
If you want it to be good girl
Get yourself a bad boy
If you really want it good girl
Get yourself a bad boy
Get it like it could be, would be
Yeah like it should be
If you want it to be good girl
Get yourself a bad boy
If you like it innovative
Better get someone creative honey (yes)
And if you want it to be jammin'
Gotta get somebody slammin' baby (oh yeah)
And if you want to get it done
Babe you gotta get the one
The one who's got it goin' on
If you wanna make it last
Gotta know just who to ask
Babe he's gotta be the best (tonight it's me)
If you want it to be good girl
Get yourself a bad boy
If you really want it good girl
Get yourself a bad boy
Get it like it could be, would be
Yeah like it should be
If you want it to be good girl
Get yourself a bad boy
Now listen
These are things your mama shouldn't know
These are things I really wanna show
These are things I wanna show you how
So won't you let me show you right now? (Ooh baby)
And if you want to get it done
Babe you gotta get the one
The one who's got it goin' on
If you wanna make it last
Gotta know just who to ask
Babe he's gotta be the best (tonight it's me)
If you want it to be good girl
Get yourself a bad boy
If you really want it good girl
Get yourself a bad boy
Get it like it could be, would be
Yeah like it should be
If you want it to be good
Gotta be like it should
If you really want it good
If you really want it good
If you really want it good
If you really want it good
If you really want it good
If you really want it good
If you really want it good
If you really want it good
If you really want it good
If you really want it good
If you really want it good
The lyrics of "If You Want it to be Good Girl" by Backstreet Boys are all about how to maximize pleasure and satisfaction in a romantic or sexual relationship. The overarching message is that if a woman wants to have a good time, she should seek out a "bad boy": someone who is creative, daring, and unafraid of taking risks. The song is packed with innuendo, with lines like "If you really like it hot, find someone who hits the spot, honey" and "If you like it innovative, better get someone creative, honey".
The song also emphasizes the importance of knowing who to ask for what you want, whether that means finding the right "jammin'" partner or seeking out the person who "hits the spot". The lyrics hint at the idea that these desires might be taboo or difficult to talk about, with lines like "these are things your mama shouldn't know". Ultimately, the song is a celebration of pleasure and spontaneity, with the repeated refrain encouraging listeners to "get it like it could be, would be, yeah like it should be".
