Bad Boys
P. Diddy (Puff Daddy) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I like a girl with a big old a**
'Cause I could see her body and mind harmonize
And she's so fine, I can say love is blind
But I know it got me shook, got me mesmerized
The kind of girl when she steps in the room
You know she steps to the room tune
She's got a ? figure one of a kind gown
Not someone else's costume!
And this right don't come in to
So I'm careful about who I choose
These little ? can't dance on my tunes
They're wasting time trying to fit your shoes

And I'm a bad boy, but I like good girls
The kind you wanna take home to meet your momma
You know that I'm a bad boy
I'm a bad boy!
And I, I want a good girl to share my world
To show you how I do it!

And girl you know how I do, girl you know you've heard of my crew
And girl, I'm looking for a love that's true
Not some other hoe to do
But when it's all set and done I need more than a hit and run
But don't get me wrong, you could be real fun
But it's time for me to find the one
The one I want to spend the rest of my life with,
The one to have too many kids with
So I'ma ? and make you right
Gonna turn you to a freak tonight, come on!

And I'm a bad boy, but I like good girls
The kind you wanna take home to meet your momma
You know that I'm a bad boy
I'm a bad boy! and I,
I want a good girl to share my world
To show you how I do it!

And I love
I need a girl who's down to ride
I need a party, I can be your card!
I want a girl I could love to death like Romeo and Juliet

And I'm a bad boy, but I like good girls
The kind you wanna take home to meet your momma
You know that I'm a bad boy
I'm a bad boy!
And I, I want a good girl to share my world
To show you how I do it!

? for your ? I'm gonna wait
'Cause tomorrow I'ma take you home to meet my momma




'Cause I, I want a good girl
To share my world and show you how I do it!
