Bad Girl
Rihanna/Chris Brown Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We stay moving around, solo
Ask us where you at, we don't know
And don't care (Don't care)
All we know is we was at home 'cause you left us there
You got your boys and got gone
And left us all alone
Now she in the club with a freaky dress on
Cats don't want her to keep that dress on
Trying to get enough drinks in her system
Take it to the tele and make her a victim
Patron on the brain, ball player in the face
They shake the spot, she's just another case

Easy for a good girl to go bad
And once we gone (Gone)
Best believe we've gone forever
Don't be the reason
Don't be the reason
You better learn how to treat us right
'Cause once a good girl goes bad
We die forever

He's staying with a flock of them, oh, yeah
Got a girl at home but he don't care
Won't care (Won't care)
All he'll do is keep me at home, won't let me go nowhere
He thinks because I'm at home I won't be getting it on
And now I'm finding numbers in the jacket pockets
Tricks calling the house, non-stop its
Getting out of control
Finally I can't take no more
He finds a letter on the stairs, saying this is the end
I packed my bag and left with your best friend

Easy for a good girl to go bad
And once we gone (Gone)
Best believe we've gone forever
Don't be the reason
Don't be the reason
You better learn how to treat us right
'Cause once a good girl goes bad
We die forever

We stay moving around, solo
Ask us where you at, we don't know
And don't care (Don't care)
All we know is we was at home 'cause you left us there
You got your boys and got gone
And left us all alone

Easy for a good girl to go bad
And once we gone (Gone)
Best believe we've gone forever
Don't be the reason
Don't be the reason
You better learn how to treat us right
'Cause once a good girl goes bad
We die forever





We gone forever
We gone forever

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Bad Girl" by Rihanna and Chris Brown tell a story of betrayal and revenge. The song talks about a good girl who turns bad after being treated poorly by her lover. The lyrics start by saying that they stay moving, and when someone asks where they are, they don't care to answer. This shows how detached they feel from the outside world since they have been left alone. The girl is then seen in a club wearing a "freaky dress," and people are trying to get drinks into her system. The boys are described as ballplayers, and the girl is portrayed as their victim, intoxicated by the drinks that she has been consuming.


The chorus of the song emphasizes the idea that it's easy for a good girl to go bad, and once she's gone, she won't come back. This suggests that once someone has been pushed to the edge, they may not return to their previous self. In the next part of the song, the lyrics switch to the perspective of the guy who has been keeping the girl at home. He doesn't care about her, and he believes that she won't cheat on him. Eventually, she leaves him with a letter, which stands as the end of their relationship.


Overall, "Bad Girl" talks about the consequences that come with poorly treating someone. It shows how easy it is for people to turn their back on those who have hurt them, and once they do, it's hard to get them back.

While they be biting my swag
I guess they know I'm bad, bad (bad)

[Chorus: Rihanna]

[Verse 3: Chris Brown & (Rihanna)]
She a bad girl, a real shopaholic
She buying everything up, man, I can't call it
And she a walking store, I'm talking 'bout her clothes
I just pause, I'm in awe, 'cause she a fashion show
Real Louis bags and breathe Gucci
Got a wardrobe like she's staring in a movie
And she ain't even famous but she got her own groupies
She got her own groupies
Said she got her own groupies (bad)

[Chorus: Rihanna]
What a bad little girl I am (I got a problem) (bad bad)
What a bad little girl I am (I need you to solve it) (bad bad)

I prefer this version over the PSD version, to be honest. This particular version got more airplay in Manila radio stations during the early part of 2009. Too bad these two broke up.
