Lyric discussion by MrsBonJovi 

Cover art for Bad Time lyrics by Grand Funk Railroad

Even though I clearly knew it was about Mark Farner separating from his wife. And yet I could help but think of pedophilia when I hear the lyric:

"Cause I still love the little girl, i'm talking about"

Then later on explaining that they picked a bad time to be in love. I hate how I totally perverted a song I love so much. Still great song

gotcha, I see how it could be taken that way. They were both early 20's when he wrote this so I guess to him she was a "little girl". The saying "little girl" seemed to be used alot in the 70's & 80"s, Lynard Skynard, 38 Special etc. Nowadays it wouldn't be acceptable.
