Bad Girl
Ralph Covert & The Bad Examples Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Someone with dark rings under her eyes
I want a bad girl
Someone who can take me by surprise
People talk about about their sinners and their saints
Some folks are what other folks ain't
I want a bad girl
Why bring an angel to shame?
Someone who can move to a song
I want a fast girl
Someone I don't have to drag along
People talk about their morals and their rules
What makes some folks happy makes other people fools
I want a bad girl
Nice girls only make me cruel
Maybe it's something in my style of living
Maybe it's something in my frame of mind
Maybe it's something in the things I'm used to giving
But I don't mind you staying out all night long
I don't mind you drinking til you drop
I don't mind you sleeping with another guy
I'm sleeping with another girl, I'm not gonna stop
I want a bad girl...a very, very bad girl
I don't mind you staying out all night long
I don't mind you drinking til you drop
I don't mind you sleeping with another guy
I'm sleeping with another girl, I'm not gonna stop
I want a bad girl...
The lyrics of "Bad Girl" by Ralph Covert & The Bad Examples portray a desire for a non-conventional and rebellious partner. The singer expresses a preference for a "bad girl" who defies societal norms and expectations. This person is described as having dark rings under her eyes, indicating a sense of mystery and a disregard for conventional beauty standards. The singer wants someone who can surprise them, someone who is not predictable or boring.
The lyrics also imply a dissatisfaction with "nice girls" who conform to societal expectations. The singer suggests that being with a nice girl only brings out their own cruel tendencies. There is a longing for a dancer, someone who can move to the rhythm of a song, and a fast girl who can keep up with the singer's pace without needing to be dragged along.
In the second verse, the singer acknowledges the possibility that their own lifestyle and mindset may contribute to this preference for a bad girl. They indicate a willingness to accept their partner's choices, even if it involves staying out all night, drinking excessively, or being with someone else. The singer claims they are engaged in similar behavior, sleeping with another girl without intending to stop. This suggests a mutually non-monogamous or open relationship, emphasizing their desire for a bad girl who challenges societal norms and expectations.
