Bad Girl
Breathe Electric Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you don't mean a thing
She'll do this all night
Leading them on and on
You'll start to care
It's what she did to me
She did it all night
This is what you get for messin' with the wrong kind
I can't forget- how she forgets now
This is what you get for messin' with the wrong kind
I can't forget
I'm talkin' 'bout a bad girl
I want it, I want it
Bad girl,
You want me, you want me
Bad girl
Don'cha go no where but closer?
I let you work me over and over
Favor the physical
Never a name
It's what you left in me
I do it all night
Damage is critical
Never the same
Left me achin', talkin', fakin', playin' 'cause
This is what you get for messin' with the wrong kind
I can't forget- how she forgets now
This is what you get for messin' with the wrong kind
I can't forget
I'm talkin' 'bout a bad girl
I want it, I want it
Bad girl
You want me, you want me
Bad girl
Don'cha go no where but closer?
I let you work me over and over
I'm talkin' 'bout a bad girl
I want it, I want it
Bad girl
You want me, you want me
Bad girl
Don'cha go no where but closer?
I let you work me over and over and over
The opposite of everything a girl could want
Is nothing like a man that I was before she got me
She taught me how to take and get away scot-free, sorry
I'm talkin' talkin'
I'm talkin' 'bout a bad girl
I want it, I want it
Bad girl
You want me, you want me
Bad girl
Don'cha go no where but closer?
I let you work me over and over
I'm talkin' 'bout a bad girl
I want it, I want it
Bad girl
You want me, you want me
Bad girl
Don'cha go no where but closer?
I let you work me over and over
The song "Bad Girl" by Breathe Electric is about a woman who is seen as a typical girl who appears to care, but in reality, she does not. She leads men on all night and then leaves them, causing them to care even though she never had any intentions of reciprocating their feelings. The lyrics suggest that the singer has been a victim to this woman's behavior and has suffered the consequences of it. The chorus emphasizes that the woman is a "bad girl," but the singer still wants her, despite knowing that he's in for trouble if he continues following her.
The second verse talks about how the woman favors physical relationships over emotional ones and never reveals her name to the guys she is with. The singer, however, finds himself thinking about her all night, despite the superficiality of their interactions. Nevertheless, he is left with damage and a sense of fakeness after their experiences. The bridge of the song suggests that the woman has taught the singer how to do the same things she does, implying that he too may have begun leading others on just like her.
Overall, "Bad Girl" is a catchy electro-pop song with lyrics that describe the experience of chasing after someone who is not interested in anything more than a physical relationship. It portrays the consequences of wanting someone who is not good for you and how it can change the way you view and act in relationships.
