Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I guess you know I'm bad (bad)
(I got a problem)
(I got a problem)

Shopaholic is what they call 'em
My addiction, my prescription
Gimme shoes and gimme bags
How much you want I need 'em bad

All them girls be checking my bags
While they be jockin' my swag
I guess you know I'm bad (bad)

What a bad little girl I am (I got a problem) (bad, bad)
What a bad little girl I am (I need you to solve it) (bad, bad)
What a bad little girl I am
Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
What a bad little girl I am (I got a problem) (bad, bad)
What a bad little girl I am (I need you to solve it) (bad, bad)
What a bad little girl I am
Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad

Need no bargain, need no sale
I want the best, I dress me well
Love Cavalli dipped in Versace
Chick ain't cheap and everybody knows

All them girls be checking my bags
While they be jockin' my swag
I guess you know I'm bad (bad)

What a bad little girl I am (I got a problem) (bad, bad)
What a bad little girl I am (I need you to solve it) (bad, bad)
What a bad little girl I am
Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
What a bad little girl I am (I got a problem) (bad, bad)
What a bad little girl I am (I need you to solve it) (bad, bad)
What a bad little girl I am
Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad

She a bad girl, a real shopaholic
She buying everything up, man, I can't call it
And she a walking store, I'm talking 'bout her clothes
I just pause, I'm in awe, 'cause she a fashion show
Real Louis bags and breathe Gucci
Got a wardrobe like she's starring in a movie
And she ain't even famous but she got her own groupies
She got her own groupies
She got her own groupies (bad)

What a bad little girl I am (I got a problem) (bad, bad)
What a bad little girl I am (I need you to solve it) (bad, bad)
What a bad little girl I am
Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
What a bad little girl I am (I got a problem) (bad, bad)
What a bad little girl I am (I need you to solve it) (bad, bad)




What a bad little girl I am
Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad

Overall Meaning

The song "Bad Girl" by Chris Brown (feat. Rihanna) is a cautionary tale for anyone who mistreats their partner. The song begins by describing a situation where the woman was left at home while her partner went out with his friends. Later that night, the woman is seen in the club wearing a revealing dress and getting drinks from men, in a bid to forget her issues. Meanwhile, the man is at home with another girl, thinking that his partner will not find out. In the end, the woman discovers his infidelity and leaves with his best friend, which leads to the chorus of the song: "Easy for a good girl to go bad / And once we gone (gone) / Best believe we've gone forever / Don't be the reason / Don't be the reason / You better learn how to treat us right / 'Cause once a good girl goes bad / We die forever."


The lyrics of the song are a reminder that once trust is broken, it's difficult to gain it back. The song also serves as a warning to all those men who think they can get away with cheating or mistreating their partner. The chorus is particularly powerful, as it echoes the idea that a woman's trust is precious, and once it's broken, there is no going back.


Line by Line Meaning

We stay moving around, solo
We don't stay in one place for too long, always moving around by ourselves


Ask us where you at, we don't know
If you ask where we are, we won't have an answer for you because we're always on the go


And don't care (don't care)
We're indifferent to your inquiry because it doesn't matter to us


All we know is we was at home 'cause you left us there
The last place we remember being is home, where you left us without any concern for our well-being


You got your boys and got gone
You left us behind to hang out with your friends


And left us all alone
We were lonely and abandoned without you


Now she in the club with a freaky dress on
She's at the club wearing a revealing outfit


Cats don't want her to keep that dress on
Guys at the club are trying to convince her to take off her dress


Trying to get enough drinks in her system
She's drinking heavily to become intoxicated


Take it to the tele and make her a victim
They're planning to take her to a hotel room and have their way with her, making her a victim of their desires


Patron on the brain, ball player in the face
She's drunk on Patron and attracted to a professional athlete


They shake the spot, she's just another case
They leave the club together, with her becoming another conquest for them


Easy for a good girl to go bad
It's easy for a girl who was once pure and innocent to become corrupted


And once we gone (gone)
Once this transformation has taken place, we'll never be the same


Best believe we've gone forever
Expect that we won't be coming back to our previous, wholesome selves


Don't be the reason
Don't be the cause of our downfall


You better learn how to treat us right
If you want to prevent us from going bad, you have to learn to treat us with respect and care


'Cause once a good girl goes bad
Because once we've been corrupted, there's no going back to who we once were


We die forever
Our innocence is lost forever


He's staying with a flock of 'em, oh, yeah
He's with a group of women he's interested in


Got a girl at home but he don't care
He's in a committed relationship, but he's disregarding it


Won't care (won't care)
He has no concern for the consequences of his actions


All he'll do is keep me at home, won't let me go nowhere
He wants to control me by keeping me at home and limiting my movements


He thinks because I'm at home I won't be getting it on
He believes that by keeping me at home, he's preventing me from having sexual encounters with other men


And now I'm finding numbers in the jacket pockets
She's discovering that he's been unfaithful by finding phone numbers in his clothing


Tricks calling the house, non-stop it's
Other women are calling their house constantly, trying to reach him


Getting out of control
The situation is becoming too much to handle


Finally I can't take no more
She's reached her breaking point and can't tolerate it any longer


He finds a letter on the stairs, saying this is the end
He discovers a letter from her on the stairs, ending their relationship


I packed my bag and left with your best friend
She's leaving him and has decided to be with his best friend instead


We gone forever
Once we've decided to leave, we're gone for good

I prefer this version over the PSD version, to be honest. This particular version got more airplay in Manila radio stations during the early part of 2009. Too bad these two broke up.
