The Bad Thing Lyrics

I really love this song. I think it's abvously about a married girl/woman who's hitting on him and trying to convince him to sleep with her and he's been in that kind of situation a lot, so he's talking about one time that a married girl tried to get in his pants and she was drunk or pretending to be drunk, and he tries to make her see how she doesnt have to do it, like in this part when he says:

Like I don't mind Be a big mistake for you to wait and help me waste your time Really love it's fine Said really love it's fine

He wouldnt mind to have sex with her, but he's actually telling her that her life is fine and love is fine and she doesnt have to carry that kind of guilt.
