Banhart, Devendra - Bad Girl Lyrics






I've been a bad girl
I ain't playin' fair
I want you to be free
But I don't wanna share
No I don't wanna let you go
But it's about time I do
I can't blame you anymore
And I still love you

Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah...

I know it ain't easy
Being left on your own
Why did you leave me
Well I don't really know
And why wait another day
When a day won't change a thing
Please don't ever let me say
That again

Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah...

Mama I ain't waiting
I ain't waiting
But I'm still holding on

Mama I ain't waiting
No I ain't waiting
But I'm still holding on
Holding on baby

Mama I ain't waiting
No I ain't waiting
But I'm still holding on

Mama I ain't waiting
No I ain't waiting
But I'm still holding on

    R.... ....

    +Rebeca the album cover, is at the start of the video for 30 sec.

  59. A.... C....

    Amazing song.

  60. A.... I....

    Heard this song on Pandora, and I love it. But why does HE say HE's been a bad Girl? I'm confused

    A.... I....

    +Angel I. because he's a future girl living outside society's shit

    A.... I....

    +Angel I. Maybe he's singing in the context of a female, and speaking for her.

    A.... I....

    @Dylan N Seems legit 

    A.... I....

    +Angel I. poetry

    A.... I....

    in an interview he was saying something along the lines of 'I learned how to sing as a girl' he had to put himself in the female mindset. I think he says he's been a bad girl bc of the lack of fucks he gives about gender boundaries, also possibly speaking from a female perspective

  61. d.... m....

    Soy el unico que nota sierta similitud en algunas notas de esta canción, con las notas de Don´t let me down

    d.... m....

    +daniel morales Flaco, Mirá el comentario anterior.

    d.... m....

    yo también jajaja, como que si en la parte del estribillo quiero cantar dont let me down, pero no

    d.... m....

    jajajajajajaja algo así

  62. O.... M....

    the grass was greener...

  63. �.... �....

    I know it ain't easy
    Being left on your own

  64. M.... N....

    I love it! so much!

  65. D.... N....

    Remindes me of Beatles - Don't let me down

    D.... N....

    +Diogo Neves i immediately had the same impression too! so i ran to see the comments!

  66. t.... A....

    i heard this on pandora while driving and couldnt check to see what the name was and was livid for three days cause i wanted nothing more than to hear this song again and i have finally found it and im getting chills from the bliss

  67. p.... ....

    Such I good tune & lyrics, I love it from the deepest part of my heart.

  68. S.... A....

    Devandra Banhart can take me from dancing to indie like a 70's princess on acid to crying over any thing.

    S.... A....

    [magic]

    S.... A....

    i know right

    S.... A....

    Sama Alnassiry Yeah. Too bad most of his videos are in such bad taste. Man in the past several years everyone has turned into sexual weirdos.

  69. M.... A....

    I've been a bad girl
    I ain't playin' fair
    I want you to be free

    And I still love you

    Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah...

    I know it ain't easy

    And why wait another day
    When a day won't change a thing
    Please don't ever let me say
    That again

    Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah...

  81. H.... H....

    this songs reminds me of "don't let me down" by the beatles

    H.... H....

    To me it just sounds like 'Walking on Air' by King Crimson.

    H.... H....

    Yep I see it

    H.... H....

    This guy is a rip off artist. You hear other songs in almost everyone of his songs.

    H.... H....

    ​@Matta Don't you know that famous quote said by Picasso?

    H.... H....

    High and Dry by Radiohead too

  82. K.... C....

    favorite song by Devendra

    truly believe this is some of his finest work. those lyrics are so relatable, heartbreaking, and brilliant. "i ain't waiting but i'm still holding on..." WOW

    C.... C....

    Seriously

  84. S.... O....

    Guaaaa guaaa gua gua, guaaa guaaa gua gua, guaaa

    Days don't change things, they only make time feel endless. Fuck, this song makes me contemplate life heavily.

  86. m.... s....

    these lyrics...

  87. /.... ....

    this makes me feel the need to do some porch sitting on this crisp autumn afternoon

  88. A.... E....
