Bad Girl
Manu Hartmann & Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh how love could be
But she's a bad girl because she wants to be free
She wants to be free
She's not a bad girl to look at
Finer than fine, she said she was mine
But she's a bad girl because it was only a line
I, I bragged to the boys about the girl that I, I had
It broke me up to find out she was bad
And my only wish is that I wish I could make
A bad, bad girl be good
She wasn't a bad girl at first, so good at the start
But now we must part
Oh yes she's a bad girl because she's breaking my heart
Oh, she's breaking my heart
(Bad girl because)
She's breaking my heart
The lyrics of "Bad Girl" by Manu Hartmann & Band explore the complexities of a romantic relationship gone sour. The singer initially sees the woman as someone who showed them the potential of love, but as the song progresses, it becomes clear that she is a "bad girl" in their eyes.
At first, the singer acknowledges that she is not a bad girl simply because she made them believe in love, highlighting the positive experiences they had with her. However, their perception shifts as they realize that she desires freedom above all else. This desire for independence and unwillingness to commit is what ultimately makes her a bad girl in their eyes.
The next verse reflects on how the singer was initially enchanted by the woman's physical appearance and believed that she belonged to them. However, they come to the realization that her affection was insincere and just a line she used to deceive them. This betrayal and realization shake them to the core, as they had proudly boasted about her to their friends.
The chorus expresses the singer's deep disappointment and heartbreak over the situation. They desperately wish they could change the bad girl's ways and make her good, but they understand that the relationship is becoming increasingly toxic, leading to their heart being broken.
Overall, "Bad Girl" delves into the emotional turmoil and disillusionment experienced by the singer as they come to terms with the true nature of their relationship.

She's not a bad person because she opened my eyes to love
Oh how love could be
Oh, the potential of love
But she's a bad girl because she wants to be free
But she's seen as bad because she desires freedom
She wants to be free
She yearns for liberation
She's not a bad girl to look at
She's visually appealing
Finer than fine, she said she was mine

But she's considered bad because it was just a deceit
I, I bragged to the boys about the girl that I, I had
I boasted to my friends about the girl I had
It broke me up to find out she was bad

A notoriously misbehaved girl become virtuous

Initially she wasn't perceived as bad, she was truly delightful
But now we must part
But now we have to separate
Oh yes she's a bad girl because she's breaking my heart
Oh yes, she's considered bad because she's causing me emotional pain
Oh, she's breaking my heart
Oh, she's shattering my emotions

(Reinforcing the idea that she's deemed bad)
She's breaking my heart
She's breaking my heart
