Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No I would never tell the truth
Cause I would lose you
Creepin while you sleepin on a mission
Cause it’s a reason why I’m sneakin bad intentions
Oooohh huuhh
Ooooo
Downbad
Pussy wetter It make me forget it
Blessing in disguise and we ain’t got no shame ooh
I just pray to god don’t slip and say the wrong thing
Always goin out ya way to cause me stress
Wonder why I’m smiling more and talking less
Wonder why I pay no mind when you get dressed up
Wonder why I ain’t been askin bout the sex
No no no
Can’t remember the last time I felt sum’ when I seen you
Catchin on too many times
Now I’m feedin lies just to keep you
Makin love every now and then
It don’t hit the same like she do
It don’t the same like she do
Creepin while you sleepin on a mission cause it’s a reason why I’m sneakin bad intentions yeah
Know it’d save you some time
To leave you by yourself
But I could never see you with nobody else
Nooo
Know you deserve better but I still got love for ya
Still got love can’t let you go and see with nobody else no
I know it’s fucked up
Damn I hate that it’s one sided
Still got love huuuhh
It don’t hit the same like she do
No no no
Down bad can’t say I regret it.
Dee Gatti's song "Bad Intentions" is a hauntingly beautiful piece that begins with the singer disappearing when the lights go off. She confesses that she wouldn't reveal the truth about her whereabouts because she fears losing her lover. While her lover sleeps, she moves with bad intentions, and it's hinted that she might be cheating on her. The melody is melancholic and spells out the mood of the song as the singer confesses her sins.
The chorus emphasizes that despite knowing that she's doing wrong, she can't help it because it feels too good, and she forgets her troubles. Although it's a blessing in disguise, there's shame to it, and she prays to God to guide her words. The second verse builds on the idea that despite meeting her love interests and pretending that she's happy, she feels nothing. The only thing left is to feed her partner lies to keep them from leaving.
The bridge mentions that even though leaving her partner would be the right thing to do, Dee Gatti cannot bear the thought of her lover being with anybody else. She feels that she still has some love for her partner and cannot let them go. The song ends with Dee Gatti acknowledging that things are messed up, and she hates that it's one-sided. She still loves her partner, but it doesn't feel the same as before.
