Good Guy Lyrics

[Intro]
Don't you fall for me, girl
I'm not the right kind
I'm a bad man
I will do all I can to keep you by my side
Just 'cause I know it feels right

[Verse]
Explain every story, not boring
Girl, I'll be the only thing up when you're dropping
From purpose
Present and future
Hi, Mr. President, a pleasure to meet you
Hope you feel my presence 'cause it's making a feature
Working on instinct like an extinct creature
Hands all lockin' me in, slide bleacher
Street lamps lit like they're trying to teach us

[Pre-Chorus]
I've seen this scene before, real life
The nature wrote the score, my lines
Look into your eyes, and

[Chorus]
I'm not a good guy
I'm not a good guy
But I know you're mine (Bang)
But I know you're mine (Bang bang)
I'm not a good guy
I'm not a good guy
But I know you're mine (Bang)
But I know you're mine (Bang bang)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

Sampling the melody from the 1996 “Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)” by Nancy Sinatra, on “Good Guy,” ZAYN expresses his intentions with a girl stating that he’s a “bad boy.” This interestingly contrasts the title of the song as it implies that ZAYN isn’t the person everyone portrays him as.
