Bad Man
Reckless Regrets: Unmasking the Tale of a Troublesome Badman
Lyrics
So you, you tell me, why you always let me down?
The speaker questions why the person always disappoints them.
And you, you tell me, why you give me the run around?
The speaker questions why the person evades commitment or sincerity.
There's no answer for half the things that you've done
There's no explanation for many of the person's actions.
So just you remember that I'll always owe you one
The speaker acknowledges owing the person a favor despite their behavior.
You're a badman
Directly labels the person as a bad character.
One day, you'll realize just what you've done to me
One day, the person will understand the impact of their actions on the speaker.
And one day you'll realize what you've done to your family
One day, the person will realize the consequences of their actions on their family.
Yeah, you've gotta, gotta be the worse player in the league
The person is considered the worst player in a metaphorical 'league' of behavior.
Everyone, they know that you never buy a round
The person is known for never buying drinks or contributing.
You're a badman
Reaffirms the person's negative character.
You treat your mother as bad as bad could be
The person treats their mother extremely poorly.
You even pay your deadly debts out of the gas money
The person prioritizes paying dangerous debts over essential expenses.
You ain't got much ball control, your own biggest fan
The person lacks control and is self-centered, yet overly confident.
So just you remember, you're a dirty, no good bad man
Reminds the person of their negative traits and behavior.
You're a badman, you're a badman
Reiterates the person's bad character.
Go on, pinch your old man's money, go on
Encourages the person to steal money from their father.
Don't turn out for the football, you're a badman
Highlights the person's refusal to participate in commitments.
Leave your bird on her own, never tell her anything
The person abandons their partner and doesn't communicate.
Never give her no money to buy either, you're a badman
The person doesn't support their partner financially.
You're dirty, you're no good, you're a rotter and we all know that
Repeats the condemnation of the person's character.
You're a badman, you're a badman
Reaffirms the person's negative attributes.
