Bad
Unveiling the Shadows: Love, Lies, and Second Chances in 'Bad'
Lyrics
Excuse me please
Expressing politeness, seeking permission to speak.
I'd like to speak my mind
Expressing the intention to share one's thoughts.
Cause I've been hearing stories baby
Acknowledging awareness of circulating stories or rumors.
Back for sometime
Indicating that these stories have been present for a while.
They say you've been running 'bout
Allegations of unfaithfulness, possibly infidelity.
Messing round behind my back
Accusing the partner of engaging in deceitful behavior.
Lying cheating being untrue
Listing negative actions: lying, cheating, being untrue.
Honey it sounds like you've been being bad
Suggesting that the partner's actions indicate wrongdoing.
You know I mean it when I say
Expressing a serious attitude and lack of time for frivolous behavior.
I just don't have the time for fooling 'round
Stating a lack of tolerance for playing around.
So if you plan on hurting me babe
Warning against causing emotional harm.
Pack up your bags get out and leave me now
Issuing an ultimatum to leave if there's an intention to hurt.
It's not that I don't love you now
Affirming love despite the challenging situation.
You know that I do
Reiterating genuine feelings of love.
Another bloody heartache baby
Describing past emotional pain as a "bloody heartache."
Frankly that's just something I can use
Indicating a willingness to use such experiences.
Oh come now honey I don't where you been hearing these lies
Questioning the source of the rumors and expressing weariness.
Baby you can stop right there I'm tired of all your alibis
Rejecting further justifications or excuses.
Believe me baby I never meant to cause you pain
Expressing regret for causing pain unintentionally.
Gonna let you whine right now cause I ain't going to need you back again
Declaring a determination not to welcome the partner back.
Excuse me please
Repeating the earlier polite request to speak.
I'd like to speak my mind
Reiterating the intention to express personal thoughts.
Cause I've been hearing stories baby
Recalling the ongoing presence of stories or rumors.
Back for sometime
Emphasizing the duration of these circulating stories.
They say you've been running 'bout
Repeating accusations of unfaithful behavior.
Messing round behind my back
Accusing the partner of secretive actions.
Keep on playing your silly games
Encouraging the partner to continue playing games.
Cause sorry baby I've been twice as bad
Admitting personal wrongdoing, possibly in retaliation.
