Bad Girl
Danity Kane Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When the red light comes on I transform!
When the red light comes on I transform!

Look in my eyes covered in Maybeline
Looking like something fresh out of a magazine
I can be part of your deepest fantasies
You're the detective
Come solve my mystery

Some say that love,is all that I'm missing
Some call it Jezebel
I call it attention
But what they don't know
They can't even imagine
Say I don't have self-esteem
But its my passion

Maybe I'm just a (bad girl)
Maybe I'm just a (bad girl)
Maybe I'm just a (bad girl)
Maybe I'm just a (bad girl, a bad girl)

I can be your addiction if you wanna
Get hooked on me
I, I can be your addiction if you wanna
Get hooked on me
Maybe I'm just a (bad girl)
Maybe I'm just a (bad girl)
Maybe I'm just a (bad girl)
Maybe I'm just a (bad girl, a bad girl)

When the red light comes on I transform
When the red light comes on I transform
When the red light comes on I transform

Something about me has got you hypnotized
Examine my body like you're the science guy
Watching my every move, you anticipate
What you're thinking about boy, I can re-create

Some say that love, is all that I'm missing
Some call me Jezebel
Call it attention
But what they don't know
They can't even imagine
Say I don't have self-esteem
But its my passion

Maybe I'm just a (bad girl)
Maybe I'm just a (bad girl)
Maybe I'm just a (bad girl)
Maybe I'm just a (bad girl, a bad girl)

I hope you looking for a
B-A-D C-H-I-C
Looking so sexy
Make 'em pay me
She not me, cause there just one me
I'm the M to the I double S, Y, E
When the lights come on I tran-transform
Gimme that, baby come, come on!
I could do it all night to the break of dawn
On, on, and on
I keep on going
They call me a Jezebel
'Cause I freaks, I does it well
Got extensions in my hair
Bad girls, is ya'll up in hurr
Tonight we gon' just let it do what it do
I can flip this pretty young thing on you
I ain't looking for attention I just want you
Lemme be your addiction, I can be that too

I can be your addiction if you wanna get hooked on me
I, I can be your addiction if you wanna get hooked on me

Maybe I'm just a (bad girl)
Maybe I'm just a (bad girl)
Maybe I'm just a (bad girl)
Maybe I'm just a (bad girl, a bad girl)

When the red light comes on I transform
When the red light comes on I transform
When the red light comes on I transform

From a caterpillar to a butterfly
I know I got something that you gonna like
Don't be afraid I won't let you down
I'm the one that'll make you come around

Maybe I'm just a (bad girl)
Maybe I'm just a (bad girl)
Maybe I'm just a (bad girl)
Maybe I'm just a (bad girl, a bad girl)

I can be your addiction if you wanna
Get hooked on me
I, I can be your addiction if you wanna
Get hooked on me

Maybe I'm just a (bad girl)
Maybe I'm just a (bad girl)
Maybe I'm just a (bad girl)
Maybe I'm just a (bad girl, a bad girl)

Diddy is notorious for discovering someone, making them big, then fucking it up when they're near their peak

@okotha1

Now he's screwed

@BeST_70

If you listen to the composition, this song is fantastic. These ladies have perfect harmony together. It's a shame things didn't work out . There voices just blend so well.

@Enjouchi

This song was ahead of its time. A lot of people hated it when it came out, but I think this would have been a solid kpop song around 2012ish. Like if the Wonder Girls or f(X) did this song, it would've taken over Korea loooool. But Danity Kane for sure did their part and did the song justice. It just wasn't for the western market at the time.

@yannicklaura6212

Danja on the beat.

@genovevesimmons

Wait, people hated this? How?! It’s iconic.

@cj10109

The harmony in this song is on point!!!
