Bad Girl
Eden James Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Disposes him like an old razor she had on her legs
For her personal amusement she laughs when her puppet is dancing
He looks like a fool when he tries to step out from her strings
But that ain't my woman. No that ain't my woman
She don't seem lady like. She's just a bad girl
"I'm seventeen and I'm insane." then she'd take them to dance
I get dressed I pull on my socks and remove all the cat hair
I don't own a cat, but she does, and it sits on my pants
But that ain't my woman. No that ain't my woman
She don't seem lady like. She's just a bad girl
That ain't my, my woman, no. That ain't my. No no no
That ain't my, my woman, no. That ain't my
On the first night that we met she had forced herself on me
Our genders, if they were reversed you would call it a crime
Or an inappropriate act at the least. What you call it?
Hypocrisy and double standards, and a waste of my time
But that ain't my woman. No that ain't my woman
She don't seem lady like. She's just a bad bad girl
That ain't my woman. No that ain't my woman
She don't seem lady like. She's just a bad, and shallow shag - a bad, bad, bad, bad girl
That ain't my, my woman, no. That ain't my. No no no
That ain't my my woman no. That ain't my. Woo
The lyrics of Eden James's song "Bad Girl" depict a complex and tumultuous relationship between the singer and a woman who is portrayed as manipulative and self-centered. The imagery used in the lyrics conveys a sense of exploitation and control, as the woman is described as using the singer like a disposable object, discarding him when she pleases. The comparison of her actions to disposing of a tissue or an old razor highlights the dehumanizing nature of her behavior. The lyrics suggest that the woman takes pleasure in manipulating the singer, laughing at his expense as he tries to assert his independence.
The singer contrasts this woman's behavior with his own values and standards, emphasizing that she does not align with his idea of a respectable or genuine partner. He uses the term "bad girl" to characterize her as someone who lacks integrity and compassion, emphasizing her insensitivity and selfishness. Despite the allure of her rebellious and wild behavior, the singer recognizes that she is ultimately destructive and incompatible with his values.
The lyrical narrative shifts to a scene where the woman's reckless and defiant attitude is further highlighted. Her nonchalant response to questions about her age and her erratic behavior point to a rebellious streak that borders on self-destructive. The mention of a cat that sits on the singer's pants, despite not owning a cat himself, symbolizes the intrusion and chaos that the woman brings into his life. This creates a vivid image of the woman's disruptive presence and disregard for boundaries.
The final verse delves into a darker aspect of the relationship, with the singer reflecting on a disturbing encounter where the woman exhibited aggressive and inappropriate behavior. The lyrics raise questions about societal double standards and the complexities of power dynamics in relationships. The singer expresses frustration and a sense of violation, condemning the woman's actions and the hypocrisy that surrounds them. The repeated refrain of "That ain't my woman" reinforces the singer's disassociation from the woman's destructive tendencies and serves as a poignant declaration of his desire to distance himself from her toxic influence.
