Bad Da
Heartbreak Harmony: Decoding Gregory Isaacs' 'Bad Da' Emotion
Lyrics
Oh, oh, bad da, oh, oh bad da, oh bad da
Expressing confusion and distress over a situation referred to as "bad da."
Oh no, I just can't understand
Expressing inability to comprehend the situation or circumstances.
How come you want a change of plans?
Questioning the reason for a change in previously made plans.
What did I do to break your heart?
Asking what actions led to causing pain or distress in the relationship.
Tell me the story from the start
Requesting a chronological retelling of events leading to the current situation.
Play it cool, oh yeah, come on baby
Encouraging the partner to remain calm and composed.
Oh, oh, bad da, oh, oh bad da, oh bad da
Reiterating the distress and confusion regarding the situation referred to as "bad da."
Come on and tell me why you wanna say bye, bye
Asking for an explanation behind the decision to part ways.
Oh no, I just can't understand
Expressing inability to comprehend the situation or circumstances, similar to line 2.
How come you want a change of plans?
Questioning the reason for altering previously agreed-upon plans.
Oh, oh, bad ya, oh, oh bad ya, oh bad ya

What did I do to break your heart?
Reiterating the inquiry about actions causing heartbreak or distress.
Tell me the story from the start
Requesting a complete narrative of events that led to the current state.
Oh yeah, tell me baby, I wanna know
Expressing a strong desire to understand the partner's perspective and the situation.
Oh no, I just can't understand
Reiterating the inability to comprehend the situation or circumstances.
How come you want a change of plans?
Asking again for an explanation regarding the change in plans.
Oh bad ya, oh, oh, bad ya
