Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm just bad bad man, but I'm getting used to you
(Ooh wah ooh wah ooh wah ooh wah ooh)
So step out that front door
Tell me that you want more
I'll chase you all over this town
(Ooh wah ooh wah ooh wah ooh wah ooh)
And if you see me on the highway
Come on baby my way
I know you see my driving around
(Ooh wah ooh wah ooh wah ooh wah ooh)
Oh yes, I'm on my way New Mexico
If you want we can share the road
I'd love to make some music with you
(Ooh wah ooh wah ooh wah ooh wah ooh)
Oh you see me take the exit
Make sure that you don't miss it
Ooh wah ooh-ooh wah ooh
(Ooh wah ooh wah ooh wah ooh wah ooh)
Come on baby won't you tell me the news
Cause I'm a bad bad man, and I've run out of time for you
(Ooh wah ooh wah ooh wah ooh wah ooh)
The song "Every Day" by Matt and Sherry McPherson appears to be a love song about a "bad" man who is trying to win over the affections of the woman he desires. The main character is portrayed as a confident but somewhat reckless individual, who is willing to go to great lengths and put in a lot of effort to get what he wants. The lyrics suggest that he has been pursuing this woman for some time now, and is becoming more familiar with her and her habits.
In the first verse, the singer is asking the woman to tell him some news, almost as if he is trying to keep the conversation flowing and keep her interested in him. He then acknowledges that he is a "bad, bad man" but suggests that this is something she should be getting used to by now, implying that their relationship has been going on for some time.
In the chorus, the singer urges the woman to come out of her house and tell him what she wants, promising to chase her all over town if he has to. He then suggests that he is driving, possibly in search of her, or perhaps just driving aimlessly to try and clear his head. The second verse picks up where the first left off, with the singer suggesting that he is on his way to New Mexico and inviting the woman to join him on his journey. He seems to have a musical connection with her, and implies that they could collaborate and create something beautiful together.
Overall, the song has a playful, slightly romantic vibe that suggests two people who are enjoying each other's company and are on the cusp of a deeper connection. The lyrics are relatively simple, but the repetition of the "ooh wah ooh wah" refrain gives the song a catchy, upbeat quality.
