Lyrics:

[English]

Late night, she on fire

Calling me from numbers I don't recognize

Wonderin' if there's somebody else in the room

She'd say that I'm crazy, now baby it's you

Shows up, fill her cup

I know what she wants is to get my love

I wish we could be just like Johnny and June

She'd cut out my heart and let me in the room

And I know I, I should quit her

And I'd do it if I could

She a hot mess, but I confess

Damn, she got me good

'Cause I love them bad girls doin' bad things

Lookin' hot with an attitude

Love them bad girls like a bad dream

Shouldn't want them, but I do

Singin'

...

All the bad girls singin'

Yeah, all the bad girls singin'

And I can't help it, no

Damn, it feels good when you're messin' with a bad girl

...

She got a body like a fast car, movie star

I'd do anything to be your bodyguard

She like gettin' naked and swimmin' in pools

She make it look sexy to break all the rules

Falling too fast, I might crash

But once you go in bad you know you can't go back

I just wanna watch every way that she moves

She out on the edge like there's nothing to lose

'Cause I love them bad girls doin' bad things

Lookin' hot with an attitude

Love them bad girls like a bad dream

Shouldn't want them, but I do

Singin'

All the bad girls singin'

...

Yeah, all the bad girls singin'

And I can't help it, no

Damn, it feels good when you're messin' with a bad girl

She bad

She got my number

So hot she hotter than Vegas in August; Donna Summer

High class under the covers

Wakin' up, we so sticky, we stuck to one another

She gets what she wants, she takes what she needs

She all over me

She kind to me but ain't a problem to me

A little bit of hell, but she got me in heaven

She my bond girl, I'm MKT-007

...

'Cause I love them bad girls doin' bad things

Lookin' hot with an attitude

Love them bad girls like a bad dream

Shouldn't want them, but I do

Singin'

All the bad girls singin'

...

Yeah, all the bad girls singin'

And I can't help it, no

Damn, it feels good when you're messin' with a bad girl

...

Grammar:

  • Calling me from numbers I don't recognize

    ➔ Relative Clause

    ➔ The relative clause "I don't recognize" modifies "numbers". The relative pronoun "that" or "which" is omitted because it's the object of the verb "recognize".

  • Wonderin' if there's somebody else in the room

    ➔ Indirect Question

    "if" introduces an indirect question. The word order follows statement order (subject-verb) instead of question order (verb-subject).

  • I wish we could be just like Johnny and June

    ➔ Wish + Past Subjunctive

    "I wish" expresses a desire for something that is unlikely or impossible in the present. The past subjunctive "could be" is used to express this unreal situation.

  • And I'd do it if I could

    ➔ Second Conditional

    ➔ This is a second conditional sentence expressing an unreal or hypothetical situation. The structure is "If + past simple, would/could/might + infinitive".

  • Damn, she got me good

    ➔ Adverb Modifying Verb

    ➔ The adverb "good" modifies the verb "got", indicating the extent or manner in which she affected him. While "well" is typically the adverbial form of "good", "good" is used informally here for emphasis.

  • Lookin' hot with an attitude

    ➔ Participle Phrase

    "Lookin' hot" is a participle phrase functioning as an adverbial modifier, describing how the "bad girls" are doing "bad things".

  • She make it look sexy to break all the rules

    ➔ Causative 'make' + object + bare infinitive

    ➔ The verb "make" is used as a causative verb, meaning she causes "it" (breaking all the rules) to "look sexy". The infinitive "break" is used without 'to' after the object of the verb "make".

  • So hot she hotter than Vegas in August

    ➔ So + adjective + that clause (implied)

    ➔ This expresses a high degree of a quality. The implied 'that' clause is "that she is hotter than Vegas in August", indicating the result of her being so hot. A full sentence would be 'She is so hot that she is hotter than Vegas in August'.
