Why do good girls (what what what) like bad guys?

Hey yo boo, why do (good girls) like bad guys?
Knowin' that bad guys tell mad lies?
(And why do) Dog niggas (want a honey wit class?)
(Sometimes you want more than just a honey wit ass)

Uh, uh
Hey yo, who would ever think that the two would go good
Midtown honey, nigga from the hood
But knock on wood, I got this bitch (what?) excuse me
She don't like to be called a bitch, try not to lose me
The rules we go by, where I'm from, she don't know
When I say I'm goin' around the way, she won't go
(Hell no) C'mon baby, you aight with me
Tryin' to get you, to spend the whole night with me
(But I'm a good girl) Uhh, that's why I like her
Couldn't treat her like a hoodrat, didn't bite her
Turn a church girl to a straight Ruff Ryder
Take her to the Ramada make it an all nighter
(Oh no, I only go to the Swiss hotel)
Fuckin' with me? I have you in the back of the Chevelle
Like what (what) hittin' it raw dog in the butt
You was good this mornin, but tonight you a slut

Why do (good girls) like bad guys
Knowin' that bad guys tell mad lies?
(And why do) Dog niggas (want a honey wit class?)
(Sometimes you want more than just a honey wit ass)
Hey yo boo, why do (good girls) like bad guys
Knowin' that bad guys tell mad lies?
(Then why do) Dog niggas (want a honey wit class?)
(Sometimes you want more than just a honey wit ass)

Hey yo boo, I'm diggin' you, 'cause you make me wanna do
All them things I was taught I wasn't supposed to
I'm secure, keep it tight while you on tour
(You fuckin' wit a dog!) That's why I'm feelin' you more
Attractive to me, wit yo' tactics
Hit it like ah! Make me back flip
(You been tryin' to act, rich, that's why I taxed you and I just got married)
Hell, but I ain't even ask you
(I'm just tellin' you, 'cause nowadays, bitches be flippin')
One more bitch, I'm skippin' (Damn girl, stop trippin')
'Cause you be actin' like
(Listen, I ain't always talkin' money
But I will keep you wit a smile, and walkin' funny
So what's it gon' be?) Yo, what you mean? (What to do?
You want the nigga wit the slacks, or the jeans and the boots?
You wanna be safe or be laced, 'cause you can be replaced)
Yeah, you can be erased
(Don't get slapped, babyface)

Why do (good girls) like bad guys
Knowin' that bad guys tell mad lies?
(And why do) Dog niggas (want a honey wit class?)
(Sometimes you want more than just a honey wit ass)
Hey yo boo, why do (good girls) like bad guys
Knowin' that bad guys tell mad lies?
(Then why do) Dog niggas (want a honey wit class?)
(Sometimes you want more than just a honey wit ass)

Man, I got shorty stayin' out late (Well I keep him wit a cut
And his nails stay clean) At least I get a nut
And I got honey rebellin' (And I stopped him from sellin')
I be gettin' away with murder, right? (shit, I ain't tellin')
Straight out the hood (yeah, nigga you get mushy)
I got honey suckin' dick (and I got you eatin' pussy)
I can be good in a bad way (I can be bad in a good way)
Girl, you ain't the same dog (that's what them rats in the hood say
Or would say, if you was around them more often)
I got honey smokin' weed (it be havin' me coughin')
She keep the dog on the leash (when we walk in the streets)
And if y'all think it's sweet (then the dog's off the leash
Now I don't want no drama, wit no baby's mama
I might be a good girl, but I keeps the armor)
Girl, you off the hook, but at least now I know why
Good girls like bad guys

Why do (good girls) like bad guys
Knowin' that bad guys tell mad lies?
(And why do) Dog niggas (want a honey wit class?)
(Sometimes you want more than just a honey wit ass)
Hey yo boo, why do (good girls) like bad guys
Knowin' that bad guys tell mad lies?
(Then why do) Dog niggas (want a honey wit class?)
(Sometimes you want more than just a honey wit ass)

Why do good girls (what what what) like bad guys?
Why do good girls (what what what) like bad guys?
Why do good girls (what what what) like bad guys?
Why do good girls (what what what) like bad guys?
Uhh, uhh
C'mon, yeah, I like that
C'mon, wha wha what
Yeah yeah, DMX
Dyme, baby girl

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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/

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
