Good Girls Go Bad Lyrics

I make them good girls go bad
I make them good girls go
Good girls go bad

I know your type
(Your type)
You're 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
Till 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 bad

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 wanna lose control

She was so shy
Till 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 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 bad
Good girls go bad
Good girls go bad

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

I make them good girls go bad
(They don't stand a chance)
I make them good girls go
The good girls go bad, yeah
Good girls go bad
I was hanging in the corner
With my five best friends
I thought 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 bad
Good girls go bad
Good girls go

i think it might be "she was so shy" not 100% sure, tho

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'.

Thankss haha I wasn't sure what they were saying so I just like made it up XD

It's "she was so shy"

ur rite its not 'she was so child' its 'she was so shy' .. and every site i've been on looking for these lyrics has had them rong.. :\ -shrugs- ohh well e.e

i love this song.

Cover art for Good Girls Go Bad lyrics by Cobra Starship

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.

My Opinion

completely agree

ya i agree. i have only heard it played once on the radio since the song was new, but i can totally see it becoming a totally overplayed song and making the top 10 list on iTunes.

lmao yup it's like currently number 6 on the top 1O list.

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 'hanging in the corner with my five best friends' part is to represent the idea that she's shy and since the song seems to take place in a party or dance, it shows that she sticks with her friends instead of flirting with guys and being social and stuff.

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.

love this song! :) it makes me wanna jam.

Cover art for Good Girls Go Bad lyrics by Cobra Starship

bubblegumrock - i had that same problem so i came here idk what it means

but i think it's suppose to get at that shes just one of those girls who already has a group of girls (club friends) who go out to the club all the time. kinda slutty... but not really...? i guess

idk its what i think

Cover art for Good Girls Go Bad lyrics by Cobra Starship

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
