Bad Girl
Chris Brown feat. Rihanna Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ask us where you at, we don't know
And don't care (Don't care)
All we know is we was at home 'cause you left us there
You got your boys and got gone
And left us all alone
Now she in the club with a freaky dress on
Cats don't want her to keep that dress on
Take it to the tele and make her a victim
Patron on the brain, ball player in the face
They shake the spot, she's just another case
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
He's staying with a flock of them, oh, yeah
Got a girl at home but he don't care
Won't care (Won't care)
All he'll do is keep me at home, won't let me go nowhere
He thinks because I'm at home I won't be getting it on
And now I'm finding numbers in the jacket pockets
Tricks calling the house, non-stop its
Getting out of control
Finally I can't take no more
He finds a letter on the stairs, saying this is the end
I packed my bag and left with your best friend
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
We stay moving around, solo
Ask us where you at, we don't know
And don't care (Don't care)
All we know is we was at home 'cause you left us there
You got your boys and got gone
And left us all alone
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
We gone forever
We gone forever
The lyrics of Chris Brown's song Bad Girl featuring Rihanna depict the transformation of a good girl into a bad one due to neglect and mistreatment in a relationship. The song talks about how the good girl's partner took her for granted, leaving her alone at home and not caring what she does. The girl decides to go to the club wearing a dress that could attract attention, and the guys can't resist but make advances on her. They buy drinks for her, and she consumes them until she's drunk, and they take advantage of her.
In the second verse, Rihanna, the featured artist in the song, sings about a married man who has a girl at home but still cheats on her. He confines her at home, thinking she won't be doing anything, but she finds numbers in his jacket pocket and discovers that he's been cheating. She eventually leaves with his best friend, signifying that she's gone forever.
The song is an excellent depiction of how a relationship can affect a person's character and behavior. Negligence and mistreatment can change a good girl to a bad one, and it can ruin a relationship to the point of no return. Overall, the song is a cautionary tale that highlights the importance of treating your partner with respect, love, and care.

[Verse 3: Chris Brown & (Rihanna)]
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 staring in a movie
And she ain't even famous but she got her own groupies
She got her own groupies
Said she got her own groupies (bad)
[Chorus: Rihanna]
What a bad little girl I am (I got a problem) (bad bad)

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.
