Bad Thing
Kiesza Lyrics

Yo, yo, yo, yo
An attention-grabbing opening to the song

Come fuck with a pro
Asserting confidence and expertise in romance

Bad thing, bad thing
Repeating the phrase used to label the mysterious love interest

What you saying mama
Asking for the love interest's opinion

Tougher than a leather goose
Comparing the love interest's toughness to something durable and strong

I wanna say your last name
Expressing a desire to marry the love interest

You ain't playin' by the rules
Noticing that the love interest is unconventional or rebellious

But you gon' change the whole game
Believing that the love interest will revolutionize the relationship

I don't wanna suit and shade that cool
Not wanting to conceal emotions or intentions

While until the love pain
Enduring stress or discomfort for the sake of love

Danger when you make me ooh
Admitting that the love interest is exciting and potentially risky

But I think that's a good thing
Choosing to view the risky nature of the relationship as a positive

Maybe that's a bad thing, bad thing
Acknowledging the possible negative consequences of the intense relationship

I'mma fiend for that thing, that thing (ooh, ooh)
Describing an addictive quality to the love interest

I don't want to ever choose
Preferring to avoid difficult decisions or compromises

Keep it jumpin' like a trampoline
Describing the dynamic and energetic nature of the relationship

No matter what you put me through
Being committed to the love interest even in tough times

You always make it worth it
Believing that the love interest is valuable and rewarding

We go together me and you
Being confident that the relationship is meant to be

Grey box and a rope chain
Describing particular clothing items or accessories in the relationship

Enough to make me say I do
Being satisfied and committed enough to consider marriage

And I think that's a good thing
Viewing the possibility of marriage as a positive

But in conclusion, it's only time we losing
Acknowledging that time is finite and can constrain the relationship

We get deluded by these illusions, constant confusions
Recognizing that unrealistic expectations or misunderstandings can harm the relationship

And every movin', any time that we doin'
Implying that every decision or action in the relationship matters

What could be a great duet
Pondering what the relationship could achieve if successful

Gets neglected, feel my solar plexus tryna get you back babe
Feeling emotionally and physically strained when the relationship is not going well

Tell me where it's at, where it's at, at, at
Asking for clarity and direction in the relationship

Gotta pack of that yack, yack, yack
Referencing drugs and suggesting they may be used to numb the pain of a failing relationship

That'll probably snap that back
Implying that drugs may provide temporary relief from relationship stress

Hit the cat till it's cataracts
Using wordplay to describe sexual activity and its effects on vision

But you like the sound of that
Suggesting that the love interest enjoys these kinds of activities

Now bring it back
Encouraging the partner to rekindle the sexual aspect of the relationship

We the perfect match to start a culture, might start it happen
Believing that the relationship has the potential to shape and influence society

Don't get too attached, 'cause I adapt to change quick see
Admitting to a tendency to quickly change one's mind or emotions

My way of livin' fast, be on my switchin' lanes shit
Acknowledging a fast-paced and unpredictable lifestyle

You're sick of all that anguish, 'cause you know how that game get
Recognizing that the love interest may be tired of the ups and downs in the relationship

If you ain't speaking that dollar bill
Indicating that financial success is important in the relationship

Then you ain't speaking that language
Suggesting that differing financial goals could hinder the relationship

I'm, dancin' with this little devil
Describing the love interest as a potentially dangerous seducer

I, condescend when usually I'm on a higher level, sip a little Red Bull
Admitting to being tempted by the love interest and using caffeine to energize oneself

Now we growing wings, she's the girl of my dreams
Using a metaphor of wings to suggest the relationship is growing and improving

I could, give her my last name but that's a bad thing (yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Admitting once again that getting married could have negative consequences and implications

I'mma fiend for that thing, that thing (Maybe that's a bad thing)
Repeating the refrain of being addicted to the love interest and acknowledging the possible negative repercussions

I'mma fiend for that thing, that thing (Maybe that's a bad thing)
Repeating the refrain of being addicted to the love interest and acknowledging the possible negative repercussions

I'mma fiend for that thing, that thing (I'mma fiend for that thing) (ooh, ooh)
Repeating the refrain of being addicted to the love interest

Maybe that's a bad thing, bad thing (Maybe that's a bad thing)
Repeating the acknowledgement of possible negative consequences in the relationship

Maybe that's a bad thing, bad thing (Maybe that's a bad thing)
Repeating the acknowledgement of possible negative consequences in the relationship

I'mma fiend for that thing, that thing (I'mma fiend for that thing) (ooh, ooh)
Repeating the refrain of being addicted to the love interest
