Bad Guy
Leo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can't seem to figure it out
All the things you say from your mouth
Got me to thinking out loud

He a bad guy
With a nice ride
Play the music too loud when he outside
Can't bring to your mom and dad in your lifetime
'Cause once they figure it out
All the things you say from your mouth
Got them to thinking out loud (bad guy, you right)

Don't leave me
Where you found me I need it
Like a drug and I'm fiending
For your love tonight
Don't break me
Tell me that you fucking hate me
Ima need more than saving
Until I'm alright
Just hold me
I don't ever wanna be lonely
Take my hand and show me
What's on your mind
(And I'll be thе bad guy)

He a bad guy
With a nice ride
Play thе music too loud when he outside
Can't bring to your mom and dad in your lifetime
'Cause once they figure it out
All the things you say from your mouth
Got them to thinking out loud (bad guy, you right)

But you don't care
All the tattoos with that bleach blonde hair
Screaming it ain't fair
He the only one that could handle you
He the only one take a stand for you
But you not the only one on his mind
He a bad guy
With all the tattoos and the nice lil jewels




I know how you feel baby felt that too
I could never change so you not changing too woah

Overall Meaning

Leo's song "Bad Guy" is an R&B track that delves into the emotions of a person who is aware of the destructive nature of the person they are attracted to, but cannot help but crave their love and attention. The song's first verse sets the tone of the song as the singer questions the contradictory nature of their lover. They cannot seem to figure out the things coming out of their lover's mouth and begin to think out loud. The title, "Bad Guy," refers to the lover's persona as someone who is dangerous or a potential hazard.


The chorus of the song emphasizes the lover's bad boy image, as well his attractive qualities such as his nice ride and loud music. The singer acknowledges that although they cannot bring the lover home to meet their parents, they cannot help but be drawn to him. The lover's dangerous persona is referenced again in the line "once they figure it out." The singer realizes that once their loved ones recognize the dangerous nature of their lover, they will be forced to let him go. This is emphasized by the line, "All the things you say from your mouth, got them to thinking out loud." Finally, the chorus is punctuated with the affirmation that "you're right, bad guy," emphasizing the lover's deep-seated dangerous persona.


The second verse of the song starts with the plea of the singer for the lover not to leave them. They are addicted to his love and craving it like a drug. The singer also acknowledges the toxic nature of their relationship as they plead with their lover not to break them. They also ask for more than just saving, further implying that they need him just as much as he needs them. The singer asks for a simple gesture of holding them and never letting them be lonely.
