BOYS
Bad Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Whoa yeah!
She came walking in like a vision, everybody's school boy dream
Ooh yeah, she could be my teacher, ooh yeah, she could be my queen
Me and the boys, we stopped talking, she came walking through
And one by one the subject got around, yeah, got around to you, thank god
I've got no secrets, I've got no clue
And all I really wanna do, is get next to you
You know what the world's about, and I'll be your dirty boy
Well your clothes are made by designers, you only wear the best perfume
You're so cold and chique, yeah, you're so unique
But when it comes to me, don't think that you're immune, no
I've got no answers, I've got no doubt
I know you wanna show me baby, what the world's about
Don't treat me like I broke your toy, and I'll be your dirty boy

(solo)
I've got no secrets, I've got no clue
And all I really wanna do, is get next to you
You know what the world's about, and I'll be your dirty boy
I've got no answers, I've got no doubt
I know you wanna show me babe, what the world's about
Don't treat me like I broke your toy, and I'll be
Be your dirty boy, be your dirty boy, I wanna be your dirty boy, ooh yeah




I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be your dirty boy, be your dirty boy, yeah
I wanna be your dirty boy, be your dirty boy...

The opening verses introduce the woman as a "school boy dream" and "queen" capable of teaching the singer about the world. The second verse contrasts her luxurious lifestyle with her vulnerability around the singer, whom she can't resist. The chorus repeats the refrain "I'll be your dirty boy" as a promise to fulfill her fantasies and be her dirty secret.


The lyrics of the song reveal the male fantasy of being a woman's forbidden lover, a role that satisfies his ego and desire for adventure. The erotic undertones of the song are expressed through the use of provocative language such as "dirty boy", "get next to you", and "show me what the world's about". The song's tone is confident and assertive, and the rhythm is upbeat and catchy, emphasizing the singer's determination to win over the woman. Overall, "Dirty Boy" can be seen as a classic rock song that celebrates male sexuality and puts women on a pedestal while also objectifying them.
