Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You naughty, bad bad, bad, bad boy, you make me feel so good
The way you hold me tight
You get me so excited,
You do me, oh, so right
My heart goes beat, beat, beat, beat, beat, beat
I want you, bad bad, bad, bad boy, you make me feel so good
(Boys will be boys) always get so restless (bad boy, bad boy, boys will be boys)
Nothing but trouble
(Bad boy, bad boy, boys will be boys) leaving me feeling breathless (bad boy, bad boy, boys will be boys)
Nothing but trouble (bad boy, bad boy)
And when he drives me home
I feel safe at night,
He'll call me on the phone
It goes ring, ring, ring, ring-a-ring, ring
(Boys will be boys) always get so restless (bad boy, bad boy, boys will be boys)
Nothing but trouble
(Bad boy, bad boy, boys will be boys) leaving me feeling breathless (bad boy, bad boy, boys will be boys)
Nothing but trouble (bad boy, bad boy)
Always get so restless (bad boy, bad boy)
Nothing but trouble
(Bad boy, bad boy) leaving me feeling breathless (bad boy)
Nothing but trouble (bad boy)
Always get so restless (bad boy)
Nothing but trouble
(Bad boy, bad boy) leaving me feeling breathless (bad boy)
Nothing but trouble (bad boy)
Always get so restless (bad boy)
Nothing but trouble
(Bad boy, bad boy)
The lyrics to Estefan Gloria's "Bad Boy" depict a woman's attraction to a man who is bad for her. Despite his troublesome behavior, he excites her and makes her feel good. The chorus emphasizes this sentiment, with the repetition of "bad, bad, bad, bad boy, you make me feel so good" and "I want you, bad bad, bad, bad boy, you make me feel so good." The woman is clearly aware of the man's negative qualities, as seen in the bridge's lyrics, "boys will be boys, always get so restless, nothing but trouble, leaving me feeling breathless." However, she is still drawn to him, possibly due to his wild nature and exciting demeanor.
In the second verse, the woman describes feeling safe with the bad boy when he drives her home and receives phone calls from him. Despite his bad reputation, she finds comfort in his presence. The repetition of "ring, ring, ring, ring-a-ring, ring" in the chorus may represent the constant pull back to the bad boy despite the potential dangers.
Overall, the lyrics to "Bad Boy" showcase the conflict between logic and attraction. The woman knows that the man is bad news, but she cannot help feeling drawn to him. The repetition of "bad boy" throughout the song emphasizes the man's dangerous allure.

@warmongersCantBeTrusted
That's a huge understatement. It's not even close. Today's music is a joke. A complete waste of my time. All music 90'sand before is the best. Music fell off after 2000.
@groovefunkel
Only a society that is (mostly) happy and thriving could make music and videos like this. Such a shame where we are today.
@mdmarko
We can fix it.
