Bad Girl Lyrics
DK:
When the red light comes on I transform!
When the red light comes on I transform!
Aubrey:
Look in my eyes covered in Maybeline
Looking like something fresh out of a magazine
I can be part of your deepest fantasies
You’re the detective
Come solve my mystery
D. Woods:
Some say that love,is all that I’m missing
Some call it jezebel
I call it attention
But what they don’t know
They Can’t even imagine
Say I don’t have self-esteem
But its my passion
Chorus:
Maybe I’m just a (bad girl)
Maybe I’m just a (bad girl)
Maybe I’m just a (bad girl)
Maybe I’m just a (bad girl, a bad girl)
I can be your addiction if you wanna
Get hooked on me
I, I can be your addiction if you wanna
Get hooked on me
Maybe I’m just a (bad girl)
Maybe I’m just a (bad girl)
Maybe I’m just a (bad girl)
Maybe I’m just a (bad girl, a bad girl)
When the red light comes on I transform
When the red light comes on I transform
When the red light comes on I transform
Dawn:
Something about me has got you hypnotized
Examine my body like you’re the science guy
Watching my every move, you anticipate
What you’re thinking about boy, I can re-create
Aundrea:
Some say that love, is all that I’m missing
Some call me jezebel
call it attention
But what they don’t know
They Can’t even imagine
Say I don’t have self-esteem
But its my passion
Chorus:
Maybe I’m just a (bad girl)
Maybe I’m just a (bad girl)
Maybe I’m just a (bad girl)
Maybe I’m just a (bad girl, a bad girl)
Missy Elliot (Rap):
I hope you looking for a
B-A-D C-H-I-C
Looking so sexy
Make ‘em pay me
She not me, cuz there just one me
I’m the M to the I double S, Y, E
When the lights come on I tran-transform
Gimme that, baby come, come on!
I could do it all night to the break of dawn
On, on, and on
I keep on going
They call me a jezebel
‘Cause I freaks, I does it well
Got extensions in my hair
Bad girls, is ya’ll up in hurr
Tonight we gon’ just let it do what it do
I can flip this pretty young thing on you
I ain’t looking for attention I just want you
Lemme be your addiction, I can be that too
DK:
I can be your addiction if you wanna get hooked on me
I, I can be your addiction if you wanna get hooked on me
Chrous:
Maybe I’m just a (bad girl)
Maybe I’m just a (bad girl)
Maybe I’m just a (bad girl)
Maybe I’m just a (bad girl, a bad girl)
When the red light comes on I transform
When the red light comes on I transform
When the red light comes on I transform
Breakdown:
From a caterpillar to a butterfly
I know I got something that you gonna like
Don’t be afraid I won’t let you down
I’m the one that'll make you come around
Chorus:
Maybe I’m just a (bad girl)
Maybe I’m just a (bad girl)
Maybe I’m just a (bad girl)
Maybe I’m just a (bad girl, a bad girl)
I can be your addiction if you wanna
Get hooked on me
I, I can be your addiction if you wanna
Get hooked on me
Maybe I’m just a (bad girl)
Maybe I’m just a (bad girl)
Maybe I’m just a (bad girl)
Maybe I’m just a (bad girl, a bad girl)
When the red light comes on I transform
When the red light comes on I transform
When the red light comes on I transform
When the red light comes on I transform!
When the red light comes on I transform!

this song to me means when the "red light" comes on, you transform into a bad chick. This song is a good one. kinda annoying, but nontheless, good.
it's about looking like a good girl who can turn into a bad girl.
I'm really surprised that DK would have this song as a single. To the casual listener, it would just seem like they're singing about being a playful bad girl. However, the lyrics in this song make it seem like they're singing about prostitution.
"When the red light comes on I transform!" -prostitutes are often called "Red Light girls"
"eyes covered in Maybeline" + "part of your deepest fantasies" -In the first verse, references are made to how prostitutes wear too much makeup, and how they are willing to do lewd acts for money.
"Some say that love,is all that I’m missing" + "Say I don’t have self-esteem" -Not being loved and low Self-Esteem are reasons why some speculate that some people become prostitutes.
The rest of the song references prostitution as well, especially the explicit version of Missy's verse.
I could be completely wrong, but this song seems more erotic than meets the eye.
Yes I thought that when I first heard it. But non the less whatever the actual meaning of the song may be its still a great tune!
