Bad Dream Mama Lyrics

Now don't you worry 'bout a thing
It's just a bad dream mama
So let's get ourselves together and roll
I'm just a mean machine so tight and skinny
And my hands are clean
If you want to come then you can spend my money
I've got a sixth sense you're a man-eating woman
So sophisticated
So LA
Don't try to be too smart
You might just find you'll miss the best part
I'm here right now
I want to be your monkey!

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I figured I'd be the first to comment =)

Aha, so I'll be honest. This is not typically what I listen to... it was on a mix from a friend, & I was immediately inclined to the sound of it; it had a strange appeal... very upbeat, catchy drum rhythm, chord progression, heavy bass... Aha, but first impressions are deceiving.

The lyrics are a bit.., chaotic, for lack of better words. I'm assuming it's very sexual. "...man-eating woman / So sophisticated"--quite the oxymoron.

I have neither the will nor desire to attempt deciphering the rest. If anyone else has a clue/opinion, I'd be interested.

I'm thinking this is Jesse being the dirty rock star from the desert picking up an LA woman. She's a man-eater meaning she's a gold digger, but he's cool with that and just wants to be her "Monkey."
