Want You Bad Lyrics

If you could only read my mind
You would know that things between us
Ain't right
I know your arms are open wide
But you're a little on the straight side
I can't lie

Your one vice
Is you're too nice
Come around now, can't you see?

I want you
All tattooed
I want you bad

Complete me
Mistreat me
Want you to be bad, bad, bad, bad, bad

If you could only read my mind
You would know that I've been waiting
So long
For someone almost just like you
But with attitude, I'm waiting, so come on

Get out of clothes time
Grow out those highlights
Come around now, can't you see ?

I want you
In a vinyl suit
I want you bad

Complicated
X-rated
I want you bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad

Don't get me wrong
I know you're only being good
But that's what's wrong
I guess I just misunderstood

I want you
All tattooed
I want you bad

Complicated
X- rated
I want you bad

I mean it
I need it
I want you bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
Really, really bad

What is the Meaning of Want You Bad?

This playfully provocative track explores the classic "good girl gone bad" fantasy through the lens of early 2000s punk rock attitude. 🔥 The narrator craves someone edgier - someone with tattoos, vinyl outfits, and a rebellious streak - despite appreciating their partner's kindness. The repetition of "bad, bad, bad" creates an almost desperate enthusiasm that captures the thrill of wanting someone to break character. There's an interesting tension between appreciation ("I know your arms are open wide") and dissatisfaction ("You're a little on the straight side"), revealing how we sometimes romanticize what we don't have. The lyrics cleverly contrast conventional niceness with rebellious sexuality, suggesting that predictability, however comfortable, can dampen desire. The song perfectly encapsulates that contradictory human tendency to want the "good" person to show their wild side, all while maintaining their underlying goodness. #PunkLove #GoodGoneBad #Y2KNostalgia
