Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Im way too busy
Getting side tracked
Put the money on the table
Where the price at
Got a urge
I been struggling to fight that
Ooo
Got a bad lil bitch with a tight cat
Thinking bout you again
Like where the lights at
You a party girl
You know I like that
Strong too
Know how to fight back
I been drunk all night
Youre still beautiful despite that
You been turning me on
Baby you know how I like that
You bad for me
So damn bad for me
Lead me on
Knowing youre bad for me
I need some more of you
Actually
Actually
I know that im probably better off
You dont give a damn
Issues ive been trying to shake em off
They dont understand
I wont lie im probably better off
I dont give a damn
Without you ive been feeling hella lost
Made me who I am
Girl you get whatever you want to
Pick you up in a benz
Throw you couple bands
And you bring your friends
If you want to
Give you dick so good
Itll haunt you
Now she saying its me she belong to
And I told her dont worry about anything
You the only one that I want too
I be outside moving in the night time
Got the opportunity of a lifetime
Girl I need you
Cuz your mind is like mine
Out here
You dont know what you might find
Honestly you my root
You my lifeline
Got me over here walking on white lies
Keep on messing around
And I promise that you wont be getting
That same mister nice guy
Because youre bad for me
So damn bad for me
You lead me on
You lead me on
Knowing youre bad for me
And I cant stand it
How you do it bae
So naturally
I need some more of you
Actually
I know that im probably better off
You dont give a damn
Issues ive been trying to shake em off
They dont understand
I wont lie im probably better off
I dont give a damn




Without you ive been feeling hella lost
Made me who I am

The song begins with the singer acknowledging their busy life, constantly getting sidetracked. The mention of putting money on the table alludes to the materialistic nature of the relationship, where the focus is on wealth and status.

The line "You been turning me on, baby you know how I like that" demonstrates their chemistry and the power the love interest holds over them.


The chorus reflects the conflicting emotions the singer feels. On one hand, they acknowledge that the love interest is bad for them, leading them on and causing issues. However, they also admit to wanting more of this love interest and not caring about the consequences. It's a battle between rationality and desire, as they know they may be better off without the love interest, but their feelings override their logic.


As the song progresses, the singer expresses their willingness to fulfill the love interest's desires, such as picking them up in a luxury car, throwing money at them, and indulging in sexual encounters. However, they also recognize that this dynamic is not healthy, as it leads to deception and losing their niceness.
