Cham Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dear Daddy
You have plans for me
Oh yeah
I was your only son.
And long before this baby boy could count to three
Run on off to school
Your child your man grows up a fool
Run on off to school.
When you tried to tell me what to do
I just shut my mouth and smiled at you
One thing that I know for sure
Bad boys
Stick together never sad boys
Goods guys
They make rules for fools
So get wise.
Dear Mummy
Dear Daddy
Now I'm nineteen as you see
I'm handsome
Tall and strong
So what the hell gives you the right to look at me as if to say:
Hell
What went wrong?
Where were you last night? You look as if you had a fight.
Where were you last night? Well
I think that you may just be right
But don't try keep me in tonight
'cause I'm big enough to break down the door
Bad boys
Stick together never sad boys
Boys like your are bad through and through
Still girls like me always seem to be with you.
We can't help but worry
You're in such a hurry
Mixing with the wrong boys
Playing with the wrong toys
Easy girls and late nights
Cigarettes and love bites.
Why do you have to be so cruel? You're such a fool.
Bad boys
Stick together never sad boys
Bad boys
Stick together never sad boys
The first lines of the lyrics suggest that the singer is addressing his parents who have high expectations of him. He talks about how even before he could count to three, they already knew what he would become. He then uses the phrase "run on off to school" to suggest that his parents may have been controlling and dictating how he should live his life. The singer admits that he didn't always comply with his parents' expectations and often found himself shutting his mouth and simply smiling at them. He then asserts that bad boys stick together and that good guys make rules for fools. The singer shifts from addressing his parents to addressing himself in the second verse. He talks about how he is now nineteen years old and looks handsome, tall, and strong. He is annoyed by the way his parents look at him and think something is wrong with him. He then asks where his parents were last night, suggesting that they have no right to judge him since they also have their own secrets. The singer then asserts that he is big enough to break down the door if he wants to go out. In the bridge, the singer talks about how girls like him always seem to be with bad boys despite their parents' worries. He then wonders why bad boys have to be so cruel and foolish.
The song seems to be about a rebellious teenager who resents the control and high expectations of his parents. He asserts his independence and defies his parents' rules, asserting that bad boys stick together and that good guys make rules for fools. The parents seem to be worried about their son's bad behavior, but the singer doesn't seem to care. He asserts his freedom and resents his parents' judgmental attitude towards him.
Line by Line Meaning
Dear Mummy
I address my mother with respect
Dear Daddy
I address my father with respect
You have plans for me
You have expectations from me
Oh yeah
I agree with that
I was your only son.
I am the only male child to you
And long before this baby boy could count to three
You had an idea about my future when I was too young even to learn how to count till three
You knew just what he would become.
You knew my abilities, my strengths, and my weaknesses, and how that would shape my future
Run on off to school
I went to school like you always wanted
Your child your man grows up a fool
Despite your guidance and support, I grew up as a foolish man
Run on off to school.
I went to school like you always wanted
When you tried to tell me what to do
I remember the times when you advised me on what I should do
I just shut my mouth and smiled at you
But most of the time, I disregarded your advice and pretended to listen to you by smiling silently
One thing that I know for sure
One thing I am certain of is that
Bad boys
Misbehaved and rebellious men
Stick together never sad boys
They have strong bonds and support each other through thick and thin
Goods guys
Polite and respectful men
They make rules for fools
They are the ones who create and follow appropriate conduct and standards
So get wise.
Learn a lesson from this
Now I'm nineteen as you see
I have grown old enough to make my decisions, and I'm now nineteen years old
I'm handsome
I am physically attractive
Tall and strong
I have a good body and strength
So what the hell gives you the right to look at me as if to say:
Why do you feel entitled to question me in that tone?
Hell
An interjection used to emphasize something negative or express disagreement
What went wrong?
What could have possibly gone wrong here?
Where were you last night? You look as if you had a fight.
Where were you yesterday night? You seem to have been in a physical altercation
Where were you last night? Well
Where were you yesterday night? Let's see
I think that you may just be right
I agree with the assumption you made
But don't try keep me in tonight
However, I won't be staying in tonight even if you want me to
'cause I'm big enough to break down the door
I am capable of using force to open the door if required
Boys like your are bad through and through
Boys like me are inherently bad
Still girls like me always seem to be with you.
Yet women are attracted to us bad boys
We can't help but worry
We worry about each other's safety and well-being
You're in such a hurry
You're always in a rush and act recklessly
Mixing with the wrong boys
Hanging out with the bad guys
Playing with the wrong toys
Engaging in negative or destructive activities
Easy girls and late nights
Involved in casual sexual relationships and staying out late at night
Cigarettes and love bites.
Smoking cigarettes and receiving love bites
Why do you have to be so cruel? You're such a fool.
You are acting cruelly towards us bad boys while being foolish about the truth.
Bad boys
Misbehaved and rebellious men
Stick together never sad boys
They have strong bonds and support each other through thick and thin
Bad boys
Misbehaved and rebellious men
Stick together never sad boys
They have strong bonds and support each other through thick and thin
