Lyrics

White shirt now red, my bloody nose

Describing physical altercation with a bloody nose.

Sleeping, you're on your tippy toes

Someone is asleep, possibly unaware of the speaker's actions.

Creeping around like no one knows

The speaker is sneaking around discreetly.

Think you're so criminal

Feeling rebellious and proud of it.

Bruises, on both my knees for you

Injuries endured for someone else without gratitude.

Don't say thank you or please

Not expecting politeness, asserting independence.

I do what I want when I'm wanting to

Asserting personal freedom and autonomy.

My soul? So cynical

A cynical perspective on life and actions.

So you're a tough guy

Describing oneself as a tough and rebellious character.

Like it really rough guy

Enjoys rough or intense experiences.

Just can't get enough guy

Expressing insatiable desire for intensity.

Chest always so puffed guy

Projecting confidence, possibly overconfident.

I'm that bad type

Identifying as the "bad type" with a rebellious attitude.

Make your mama sad type

Acknowledging the potential to make others upset.

Make your girlfriend mad tight

Suggesting an ability to attract romantic attention.

Might seduce your dad type

Suggesting the capacity to be provocative.

I'm the bad guy, duh

Reiterating the self-identification as the "bad guy."

I'm the bad guy

Emphasizing the role as the "bad guy."

I like it when you take control

Expressing a liking for being dominated or controlled.

Even if you know that you don't

Acknowledging the power dynamic but accepting it.

Own me, I'll let you play the role

Willing to play a submissive role for someone else.

I'll be your animal

Comparing oneself to an animal, suggesting primal instincts.

My mommy likes to sing along with me

Referencing a connection with the speaker's mother.

But she won't sing this song

Mother won't engage with the song due to explicit content.

If she reads all the lyrics

Concern that if the mother reads the lyrics, she'll disapprove.

She'll pity the men I know

Anticipating judgment from people known to the speaker.

So you're a tough guy

Reiteration of the tough and rebellious persona.

Like it really rough guy

Repeating the preference for intense experiences.

Just can't get enough guy

Expressing insatiable desire for intensity.

Chest always so puffed guy

Projecting confidence, possibly overconfident.

I'm that bad type

Reiterating the self-identification as the "bad type."

Make your mama sad type

Acknowledging the potential to make others upset.

Make your girlfriend mad tight

Suggesting an ability to attract romantic attention.

Might seduce your dad type

Suggesting the capacity to be provocative.

I'm the bad guy, duh

Reiterating the self-identification as the "bad guy."

I'm the bad guy, duh

Emphasizing the role as the "bad guy."

I'm only good at being bad, bad

Claiming proficiency in being "bad" as a defining trait.

I like when you get mad

Deriving satisfaction from provoking anger in others.

I guess I'm pretty glad that you're alone

Expressing contentment with the absence of others.

You said she's scared of me?

Questioning someone's fear of the speaker.

I mean, I don't see what she sees

Expressing confusion about how others perceive the speaker.

But maybe it's 'cause I'm wearing your cologne

Suggesting a connection through the scent of the speaker.

I'm a bad guy

Reiterating the self-identification as the "bad guy."

I'm a bad guy

Emphasizing the role as the "bad guy."

Bad guy, bad guy

Repetition of the term "bad guy."

I'm a bad-

Continuation of the self-identification as the "bad guy."
