Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Girl you're too bad
Girl you're too rude
Everyman I speak to
Says he wants you
Girl you're too bad
Girl you're too rude
Everyman I speak to
Says he wants you

Everywhere
All over the place
Every man, he has
A picture of your face
Hey little girl
Don't you realize
This is a goddamn disgrace

Girl you're too bad
Girl you're too rude
Everyman I speak to
Says he wants you
Girl you're too bad
Girl you're too rude
Everyman I speak to
Says he wants you

Oh little girl
You never want me
Tomorrow night you say
You need my key
Hey little girl
Go and have a ball
You know one day girl
You're bound to fall

Girl you're too bad
Girl you're too rude
Everyman I speak to
Says he wants you
Girl you're too bad
Girl you're too rude
Everyman I speak to
Says he wants you

Girl you're too bad
Girl you're too rude
Everyman I speak to
Says he wants you
Girl you're too bad
Girl you're too rude
Everyman I speak to

Everywhere
All over the place
Every man, he has
A picture of your face
Hey little girl
Don't you realize
This is a goddamn disgrace
Girl you're too bad
Girl you're too rude
Everyman I speak to

Girl you're too bad
Girl you're too rude




Everyman I speak to
Says he wants you

Wow. That was the shit. So relaxed and what a groove. Keith's guitar and vocals so damn good on this. Love the Winos......

@davidmatthews3131

No matter how often i've returned, still feels like first love.

@dewimatthews

Also Bobby Keyes sax part which doesn’t exist in the original (‘winsome’ half pint) is gorgeous.

@spawn1lts

Keith has great reggae style and taste. Half pint is the man.

@scootientherock

Keith was taking his music seriously, those days. Always has, I guess, but he was particularly sticklish about getting things just right in this era. Great tunes, too.

@OneSupreme08
