Little Bad Girl
David Guetta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All the ladies look at me and act coy
I just like to put my hands up in the air
I want that girl dancing over there
Look at her go on the dance floor
She's amazing on the dance floor
When she moves, girl, I want more
Keep it going, girl, like I got an encore
You got me saying
Go little bad girl, little bad girl
Go little bad girl, little bad girl
Go little bad girl, little bad girl
Go little bad girl, go little bad girl
Oh, yeah, they tell me I'm a bad boy
All the ladies look at me and act coy
I just like to put my hands up in the air
I want that girl dancing over there
Shaking her ass from the left to the right
Moving it round just the way that I like
I wanna see you move like a movie on flight
You got it how I want and I want it all night
Look at her go on the dance floor
She's amazing on the dance floor
When she moves, girl, I want more
Keep it going, girl, like I got an encore
You got me saying
Go little bad girl, little bad girl
Go little bad girl, little bad girl
Go little bad girl, little bad girl
Go little bad girl, go little bad girl (let's go)
She done got my heart jumping
And my adrenaline pumpin' and gunnin'
Like ain't nobody ever seen (Seen, seen, seen, seen, seen, seen)
As a matter of fact I've seen this woman all up in my dreams
Whippin' and flippin' and stackin' and slappin'
I'm attacking after she back it up and make it drop
After I meet her I tell her David Guetta's on the track, baby girl, don't stop
Keep it goin' you never know when somebody's gonna throw a couple dollars
Got a pocket full of hundred dollar bill's
Ludacris, Mr. Make-a-Woman-Holla (Sing, sing, sing, sing, sing)
And every night on the floor putting on a show (show, show, show, show, show)
Everybody in the club there's a little something you should know
Look at her go on the dance floor
She's amazing on the dance floor
When she moves, girl, I want more
Keep it going, girl, like I got an encore
You got me saying
Go little bad girl, little bad girl
Go little bad girl, little bad girl
Go little bad girl, little bad girl
Go little bad girl, go little bad girl
Go little bad girl, little bad girl
Go little bad girl, little bad girl
Go little bad girl, little bad girl
Go little bad girl, go little bad girl
The lyrics to David Guetta's "Little Bad Girl" featuring Ludacris and Taio Cruz illustrate the persona of a man who enjoys the attention of women, and who feels the need to dance with them on the dance floor. He finds one woman that he's particularly interested in and is captivated by her dancing. He wants her to continue dancing like she has an encore. He refers to her as a "little bad girl," which isn't necessarily derogatory, but he's attracted to her confidence and how she carries herself. Ludacris' verse adds to the male perspective, as he describes his own desire for this woman. He notes how she can collect money on the floor, indicating that she's a talented performer. The song encourages women to let loose and be free with their bodies.
The lyrics can be perceived as objectifying women, as the men view them as objects of entertainment on the dance floor, but they also praise women for their ability to move well and command attention. Similarly, the lyrics cater to the male gaze, but the song also has a beat that can encourage anyone to dance.
Overall, "Little Bad Girl" is a song that emphasizes the enjoyable aspects of club culture and encourages listeners to have a good time, let loose, and enjoy themselves.
