Bad Girl
Rihanna Ft Chris Brown Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I guess you know I'm bad (bad)
(I got a problem)
(I got a problem)

Shopaholic is what they call 'em
My addiction, my prescription
Gimme shoes and gimme bags
How much you want I need 'em bad

All them girls be checking my bags
While they be jockin' my swag
I guess you know I'm bad (bad)

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)
What a bad little girl I am
Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
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)
What a bad little girl I am
Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad

Need no bargain, need no sale
I want the best, I dress me well
Love Cavalli dipped in Versace
Chick ain't cheap and everybody knows

All them girls be checking my bags
While they be jockin' my swag
I guess you know I'm bad (bad)

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)
What a bad little girl I am
Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
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)
What a bad little girl I am
Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad

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 starring in a movie
And she ain't even famous but she got her own groupies
She got her own groupies
She got her own groupies (bad)

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)
What a bad little girl I am
Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
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)




What a bad little girl I am
Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad

Overall Meaning

In Rihanna's song "Bad Girl," featuring Chris Brown, the lyrics describe a common scenario in which a man mistreats his girlfriend and causes her to change from a good girl to a bad girl. The song starts with Rihanna singing about how she and her girlfriends are constantly on the move and don't care where they are as long as they're not alone because they were left alone before. Meanwhile, Brown's part in the song suggests that he doesn't care about his girlfriend and is even possessive by keeping her at home and not letting her go anywhere. Rihanna's lyrics suggest that her character cannot resist going out and drinking, which leads to her being taken advantage of by men. The song ends with Rihanna and Brown repeating that once a good girl goes bad, she's gone forever, advising men to treat their partners right so they won't lose them.


This song is a cautionary tale about the consequences of not treating your partner with love and respect. It implies that if you don't treat your partner correctly, they'll inevitably leave you, and once they do, they're gone forever. The song's lyrics also suggest that there are a plethora of external factors that can contribute to a woman going astray, such as being surrounded by a group of people who don't care about her well-being, feeling neglected and undervalued, and being tempted by alcohol.


Line by Line Meaning

We stay moving around, solo
We are always on the move by ourselves


Ask us where you at, we don't know
We don't know our location


And don't care (don't care)
We are not concerned with our location


All we know is we was at home 'cause you left us there
We were left alone at home by someone else


You got your boys and got gone
You left with your friends


And left us all alone
We were abandoned


Now she in the club with a freaky dress on
Now she is at a club wearing a provocative dress


Cats don't want her to keep that dress on
Men there want her to take that dress off


Trying to get enough drinks in her system
She's trying to get drunk


Take it to the tele and make her a victim
She might be taken advantage of in a private room


Patron on the brain, ball player in the face
She's thinking of drinking Patron and spending time with a professional athlete


They shake the spot, she's just another case
People leave the club and she is just another hookup


Easy for a good girl to go bad
It is easy for a well-behaved woman to change for the worse


And once we gone (gone)
Once we leave and change, we are gone for good


Best believe we've gone forever
Believe that we will never come back to our old self


Don't be the reason
Don't cause us to change and leave


You better learn how to treat us right
You should learn how to treat us properly


'Cause once a good girl goes bad
If a decent woman turns bad


We die forever
She is gone for good


He's staying with a flock of 'em, oh, yeah
He is staying amongst a group of women


Got a girl at home but he don't care
He has a girl at home but he doesn't seem to care


Won't care (won't care)
He will not take care of her


All he'll do is keep me at home, won't let me go nowhere
He confines her indoors and prevents her from leaving


He thinks because I'm at home I won't be getting it on
He thinks she's not having sex while at home


And now I'm finding numbers in the jacket pockets
She is discovering phone numbers in his jackets


Tricks calling the house, non-stop it's
Women are calling the house, constantly


Getting out of control
Things are becoming uncontrollable


Finally I can't take no more
She cannot take it any longer


He finds a letter on the stairs, saying this is the end
He finds a letter on the steps saying it is over


I packed my bag and left with your best friend
She packed her stuff and left with his friend


We gone forever
We won't come back

Dennis Daguman

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.
