Benny Blanco Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Radio station B-T-S-N-double-O-P

No makeup on, I love that sh-
You so damn beautiful, I swear you make me sick
I want your love, I want your name
Inside my heart, there's nothing but a burning flame

If you want my love
Come a little bit closer
Don't make me wait

Let's make some bad decisions
I want you, ooh, baby, all of the time
So give me all your kisses
I want you Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, baby, every night
And it feels like, ooh, ah
I can't seem to ever get you out of my mind
And it feels like, ooh, ah
I want you, ooh, baby, all of the time

Everybody see me lookin' fly (oh, yeah)
And I think I know the reason why (oh, yeah)
'Cause I got you right here by my side (oh, yeah)
And I can't let you just walk away
If I ain't with ya, I'm not okay

If you want my love (yeah)
Come a little bit closer
Don't make me wait (ooh)

Let's make some bad decisions
I want you, ooh, baby, all of the time
So give me all your kisses (kisses)
I want you Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, baby, every night (every night)
And it feels like, ooh, ah (yeah)
I can't seem to ever get you out of my mind
And it feels like, ooh, ah
I want you, ooh, baby, all of the time

Let's do things you always wanted
Have some fun and live your life
Help me waste a day and find a place
That we can face to face
Let me show you 'round my hood
It's bad meaning bad like bad meaning good
When it comes to rules, I break 'em

Let's make some bad decisions
I want you, ooh, baby, all of the time
So give me (give me) all your kisses (kisses)
I want you Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, baby, every night
And it feels like, ooh (yes), ah (yes)
I can't seem to ever get you out of my mind




And it feels like, ooh (say what?) Ah
I want you, ooh, baby, all of the time (ooh)

Overall Meaning

In "Bad Decisions," Benny Blanco sings about a woman he finds attractive and desires to be with her, even if it means making some reckless choices. The opening verse sets the scene with the radio station B-T-S-N-double-O-P, indicating the setting could possibly be Los Angeles, where this station is located. The next line is particularly interesting as it suggests the woman he is with does not wear any makeup, which he loves. The point he is trying to make is that her natural beauty is more appealing to him. The chorus reveals the singer’s need for the woman's love, declaring that he wants her all of the time. He does not want to wait and seeks to make bad decisions with her.


The second verse reiterates that the singer is only happy when he is with the woman, and he acknowledges that he cannot let her go. The bridge suggests that the couple has free time and is looking for new and exciting experiences to share with each other. They want to have fun, and forget all the rules to live in the moment. Throughout the song, the chorus repeats, emphasizing the singer's fervor and urgency to be with the woman he desires.
