I'll make them good girls go bad
I make them good girls go
Good girls go
(Good girls go)

I know your type (your type)
Yeah daddy's little girl
Just take a bite (one bite)
Let me shake up your world
'Cause just one night couldn't be so wrong
I'm gonna make you lose control

She was so shy
'Til I drove her wild

I make them good girls go bad
I make them good girls go bad
You were hanging in the corner
With your five best friends
You heard that I was trouble but you couldn't resist
I make them good girls go bad
I make them good girls go
Good girls go
(Good girls go bad)
(Good girls go)

I know your type (your type)
Boy you're dangerous
Yeah you're that guy (that guy)
I'd be stupid to trust
But just one night couldn't be so wrong
You make me want to lose control

She was so shy
'Til I drove her wild

I make them good girls go bad
I make them good girls go bad
I was hanging in the corner
With my five best friends
I've heard that you were trouble but I couldn't resist
I make them good girls go bad
I make them good girls go
Good girls go
(Good girls go bad)
(Good girls go bad)

Oh, she got a way with the boys in the place
Treat 'em like they don't stand a chance
And he got a way with the girls in the back
Actin' like they're too hot to dance

Yeah, she got a way with the boys in the place
Treat 'em like they don't stand a chance
And he got a way with the girls in the back
Actin' like they're too hot to dance

I make them good girls go bad
I make them good girls go
Them good girls go bad, yeah

(Good girls go bad)

I was hanging in the corner
With my five best friends
I've heard that you were trouble but I couldn't resist
I make them good girls go bad
I make them good girls go bad
I make them good girls go
(Good girls go)
(Good girls go bad)
(Good girls go)

    I like this song. And it actually has sort of interesting lyrics. Well, not that interesting, but the music video is very interesting. So if you haven't seen it, in the music video, there's this guy who owns a club in the back on his... i think its a deli. In any case, some people come in, they party, gamble, and it seems to sort of make sense cause the girl looks sorta shy with her friends and stuff but then at the end it turns out the girls were undercover cops and they bust all the guys for something, drugs, illegal gambling, or something. In any case, i think this is Cobra's ironic take on their own song or something, because it doesn't fit the straightforward lyrics. No, the only lyric in the song that gives me some trouble is "she got a way with the guys in the place treat 'em like they don't stand a chance. At first this would suggest to me that the girl has confidence but this clearly isn't the case because she's "so shy" unless of course they're undercover cops but still that dosen't add up. No, i think what they mean there is that she is the type that hangs with her friends and doesn't give guys a chance to date her, and "treat them like they don't stand a chance" because she won't dance with them, or kiss them, or do anything with them because she's conservative and such, not because she's overconfident.

    In any case the line about the 5 best friends seems to me just to be their way of discribing what type of girl the girl in the song is, she's the kind that stands in the corner, with her friends, talking, rather than dancing or talking to guys.

    I just think its funny that their song seems very pro badboy/pimpster, after all that's who's singing it and what it's about, but their music video seems anti that type to me because they get busted.

    A couple corrections. Instead of 'Boy you change your rust' it's, 'boy you're dangerous' I also really don't think it's, 'she was so child' but I don't know what he's saying. It's 'treat 'em like they don't stand a chance' instead of 'acting like they don't stand a chance'.

    My Opinion

    This song is great, but I have a feeling this song is going to be majorly overplayed this summer. For now it's awesome though.

    Love this song. Just saw them in concert. Soo good. But why five best friends? Just an arbitrary number or does it have some hidden meaning?

    The song isn't bad. Like Jane Doe said it probably is gonna get played out due to the fact that Leighton Meester is in it-nothing against her though.

    i think it says 5 best friends to show that she is the type to clique to her friends when she goes out and doesn't really try to meet boys but hangs out with her close group of girls

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Album art
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
