Lloyd talked to Billboard about the song saying,
Basically, I talk about the fact that the guy is not giving me exactly what I want – and when people listen to it, they’ll understand exactly what I mea...
[Verse 1]
I see you walking with a halo
Cover it up, yeah, cover it up now, baby
No need to try and be a hero
I've had enough, yeah, I've had enough, my baby
You got a little bit of Tarzan
Let it all out, yeah, let it all out, my baby
They say the thrill is in the chasin'
I wanna find out, I wanna find out, my baby
[Pre-Chorus]
You're always so nice, I'm gettin' bored
You say the right things, I'm gettin' bored
And you always call first, I'm gettin' bored
Yeah, I'm gettin' bored
[Chorus]
Ah-ah
I'm so sick of you good boys, need a wild boy
Something unpredictable
Go ahead, be a cave man
Give me all your dirty love
Ah-ah
No time for the right one, need a wrong one
Something unreliable
Go ahead, be a cave man
Give me all your dirty love
[Verse 2]
You wanna treat me like a lady
Don't even try, no, don't even try, my baby
Ain't gotta say how much you need me
Keep it inside, yeah, keep it inside, my baby
I know I sound a little twisted
Maybe I am, or maybe I'm not, but baby
Playin' the game is so addictive
Want it to stop, don't want it to stop, but baby
[Pre-Chorus]
You're always so nice, I'm gettin' bored
You say the right things, I'm gettin' bored
And you always call first, I'm gettin' bored
Yeah, I'm gettin' bored
[Chorus]
Ah-ah
I'm so sick of you good boys, need a wild boy
Something unpredictable
Go ahead, be a cave man
Give me all your dirty love
Ah-ah
No time for the right one, need a wrong one
Something unreliable
Go ahead, be a cave man
Give me all your dirty love
[Bridge]
Yeah
When you put your clothes back on
Somethin' always feels so wrong
Baby, all I'm thinkin' of
Is I want your dirty love, yeah
[Chorus]
Ah-ah
I'm so sick of you good boys, need a wild boy
Something unpredictable
Go ahead, be a cave man
Give me all your dirty love (Dirty, dirty love)
Ah-ah
No time for the right one, need a wrong one
Something unreliable
Go ahead, be a cave man
Give me all your dirty love (Dirty love)
I'm so sick of you good boys, need a wild boy
Something unpredictable
Go ahead, be a cave man
Give me all your dirty love
No time for the right one, need a wrong one
Something unreliable
Go ahead, be a cave man
Give me all your dirty love
Ah-ah
