Bad to the Bone
Hans Zimmer & Lorne Balfe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The nurses all gathered 'round
And they gazed in wide wonder
At the joy they had found
The head nurse spoke up
And she said "leave this one alone"
She could tell right away
That I was bad to the bone
Bad to the bone
Bad to the bone
B-B-B-B-Bad to the bone
B-B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-B-Bad
Bad to the bone
I broke a thousand hearts
Before I met you
I'll break a thousand more, baby
Before I am through
I wanna be yours pretty baby
Yours and yours alone
I'm here to tell ya honey
That I'm bad to the bone
Bad to the bone
B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-Bad
Bad to the bone
I make a rich woman beg
I'll make a good woman steal
I'll make an old woman blush
And make a young woman squeal
I wanna be yours pretty baby
Yours and yours alone
I'm here to tell ya honey
That I'm bad to the bone
B-B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-B-Bad
Bad to the bone
And when I walk the streets
Kings and Queens step aside
Every woman I meet
They all stay satisfied
I wanna tell ya pretty baby
Well Ya see I make my own
I'm here to tell ya honey
That I'm bad to the bone
Bad to the bone
B-B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-Bad
Bad to the bone
The song "Bad to the Bone" by Hans Zimmer & Lorne Balfe is a classic rock song that speaks about the singer's tough and rebellious nature. The song starts by setting up the lyrics with a statement about the day the singer was born, announcing how the nurses were fascinated by their newfound joy. However, the head nurse warns the others to leave the singer alone as she knew right away that the baby was "bad to the bone." This line sets the tone for the entire song, with an unapologetic character who is so brazen that even at birth, they were different. The ensuing lyrics affirm this statement by describing the singer's rebellious tendencies such as breaking hearts, wanting to be only 'yours', and how they make every woman satisfied. The lyrics are sung in a confident and self-assured voice that delivers the message that no one can stop the singer from being "bad to the bone."

On the day I was born
I've always been a force to be reckoned with
The nurses all gathered 'round
People have always been fascinated by my presence
And they gazed in wide wonder
My impact has always been awe-inspiring
At the joy they had found
People have always been happy to know me
The head nurse spoke up
Even at birth, my character was already evident
And she said "leave this one alone"
She knew I wasn't someone to be controlled or tamed
She could tell right away
My nature was unmistakable from the start
That I was bad to the bone
I was born to be wild and unstoppable
I broke a thousand hearts
I've left a trail of broken hearts in my wake
Before I met you
My love life had been a series of brief affairs
I'll break a thousand more, baby
I'll continue to leave destruction in my path
Before I am through
I'm not done causing chaos
I wanna be yours pretty baby
Despite my wild nature, I want to be with you
Yours and yours alone
I want to be fully committed to you
I'm here to tell ya honey
I'm serious about being with you
That I'm bad to the bone
But you should know that I won't change my ways
I make a rich woman beg
I have the power to reduce even the wealthiest woman to her knees
I'll make a good woman steal
I can make even the most upstanding woman turn to criminal activity
I'll make an old woman blush
I can still elicit a strong reaction from someone much older than me
And make a young woman squeal
My charms work just as well on younger women
And when I walk the streets
My presence demands respect and attention
Kings and Queens step aside
Even those in power recognize my influence
Every woman I meet
My charisma isn't limited to one type of person
They all stay satisfied
Everyone who meets me is left with a good impression
Well Ya see I make my own
I don't answer to anyone but myself
