Bad
Exploring the Depths of Innocence and Longing in Ready Revolution's 'Bad'
Lyrics
I like your daughter mister
I express an interest in your daughter
I like her fine
I find her appealing
Do get to know me
I want you to know me better
Give me some time
Give me some time to build a connection
I'm counting stars above me
I'm contemplating the stars above
The lights are so low
The surroundings are dimly lit
And when she leaves me
Questioning where she goes when she leaves me
Where does she go?
Expressing uncertainty about her destination
Oh oh no oh no
Repeating uncertainty or anxiety
I'm not so bad
Claiming not to be inherently bad
I'll call you dad
Committing to call her father
I'll love you so
Expressing love and affection
I'm not so
Reiterating the claim of not being so bad
Bad
Emphasizing the non-negative self-perception
Bad
Repeating the assertion of not being bad
I had a family heirloom
Mentioning a lost family heirloom
But where did it go?
Expressing uncertainty about its whereabouts
I had intentions
Had intentions of giving it to her
To give it to her
Referencing the daughter as the intended recipient
Oh no
Expressing concern or regret
Oh no
Repeating concern or regret
Oh no
Continuing the expression of concern or regret
I'm not so bad
Reiterating the claim of not being inherently bad
I'll call you dad
Committing to address the father with respect
I'll love you so
Expressing love and affection towards the father
I'm not so
Reiterating the claim of not being so bad
Bad
Emphasizing the non-negative self-perception
Bad
Repeating the assertion of not being bad
Please don't make me feel so small
Pleading not to feel diminished
I mean no harm not at all
Clarifying the lack of harmful intentions
I'm just a good good good good boy
Describing oneself as a well-behaved boy
I'm not so bad
Reiterating the claim of not being inherently bad
I'll call you dad
Committing to address the father with respect
I'll love you so
Expressing love and affection towards the father
I'm not so
Reiterating the claim of not being so bad
Bad
Emphasizing the non-negative self-perception
Bad
Repeating the assertion of not being bad
I'm not so bad
Reiterating the claim of not being inherently bad
I'll call you dad
Committing to address the father with respect
I'll love you so
Expressing love and affection towards the father
I'm not so
Reiterating the claim of not being so bad
Bad
Emphasizing the non-negative self-perception
Bad
Repeating the assertion of not being bad
Bad
Repeating the word "Bad" for emphasis
Bad

Final repetition of the word "Bad"
