Formal Girl
Mars Argo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been a little naughty
Forgive me if I've sinned
I'll try my best
To be the little bitch
You wanted me to be
I like the bad boys
I have a tendency
Your secret is safe with me
Underneath the sheets
Make me an offer, please
Am I the girl you thought I'd be?
There I go again
I let my sinister side get the best of me
I like to pretend I'm sorry
Am I the girl you thought that I would be?
Though I'm a formal girl
I like the bad boys
I have a tendency
Your secret is safe with me
Underneath the sheets
Make me an offer, please
Am I the girl you thought I'd be?
Though I'm a formal girl
I like the bad boys
I have a tendency
Your secret is safe with me
Underneath the sheets
Make me an offer, please
Am I the girl you thought I'd be?
The lyrics of Mars Argo's song "Formal Girl" describe a girl who is torn between her desire to be proper and formal, and her attraction to "bad boys" with a sinister side. The opening lines of the song suggest that the girl may have committed a sin, but she asks for forgiveness and promises to be the submissive "little bitch" that her partner wants her to be. Despite her formal demeanor, she admits to having a wild and secretive side that she explores underneath the sheets, and invites her partner to make her an offer.
The chorus of the song repeats the idea that the girl, despite her formal appearance, cannot resist the allure of "bad boys" and has a tendency to keep their secrets. She questions whether she is living up to her partner's expectations, and wonders if she is the girl he thought she would be. The final lines of the song echo the chorus, as the girl repeats her willingness to keep her partner's secrets and asks if she has met his expectations.
Overall, "Formal Girl" explores themes of power dynamics in relationships and the tension between societal expectations of propriety and the desire for thrills and excitement.

Underneath the sheets
When we are in bed
