Bad Blood
Coasters The Lyrics

Bad blood, bad blood
The woman in question has a lot of negative energy and intentions. She is someone who should be avoided because of the kind of energy she gives off.

Well, she's the kind of woman that will kiss you (uh-huh)
She is the kind of woman who would shower you with affection, but only to get what she wants from you. Her motives are always questionable.

Kiss you 'til your lips are burned (uh-huh)
Her kisses are so intense that they might cause harm, leaving you scarred after she's gone.

But then she'll go and kiss somebody else
She is unfaithful and will not hesitate to cheat on you behind your back.

The minute your back is turned
She will wait for the opportunity to cheat as soon as you're not looking. Her dishonesty knows no bounds.

The girl's got bad blood, the girl's got bad blood
Reiterating the fact that she is not someone anyone would want to be associated with - her intentions are always bad and inconsiderate.

I know her brother and he's rotten as a kid can be
Her brother is an example of how their family has members who display negative traits intentionally, knowing they cause harm to others.

Well, I know her mother and it runs in the family (Bop-she-bop, bop-she-bop)
The negative traits of this woman are not limited to just her - her mum and brother also possess these traits, insinuating that it's likely a family issue or trait.

Well, she's the kind of woman that'll take you (uh-huh)
She is the kind of woman who would take advantage of you financially and otherwise, without any remorse.

Take the money out of your hand (uh-huh)
She would take money that belongs to you without any hesitation, leaving you with less in the end.

She's the kind of woman that'll take your money
She has no qualms about stealing your money or using it for other purposes that don't benefit you.

And spend it on another man
She wouldn't think twice about using the money she took from you to satisfy another man's needs, regardless of how you feel about it.

I know her sister, Lord, she lives across the street from me (A-peeky-peeky)
The woman's sister, just like the rest of her family, is known to be sneaky and untrustworthy, making them not the best neighbours to live near.

You know, baby Talkin' about a-lying and a-cheating (uh-huh)
The woman in question is ceaselessly dishonest and unfaithful - it's just what she does naturally in any situation.

She's a lying cheating boss (uh-huh)
She might actually be in a position of power, and even in that position, she continues to be deceitful to achieve her goals.

Talkin' about mean mistreating, they call her Miss Double-Cross
The woman is seen as a notorious figure for mistreating people, and her reputation precedes her.

I know her cousin and he's doin' time in Tennessee (A-thiefy-thiefy)
The woman's cousin is a felon who is currently serving time, implying that unlawful behaviour is prevalent in this woman's family.

Bad blood, bad blood
The chorus is repeated one last time to emphasise that this individual is not to be trusted and is best avoided.
