About this song
bad idea right Clean Lyrics
bad idea right? (Clean Version) is a track by Olivia Rodrigo from her second studio album Guts, released on September 8, 2023. Written by Olivia Rodrigo and Daniel Nigro, the song follows the messy thoughts that come with getting a call from an ex and deciding to see him, even when you already know it is probably a terrible idea. She tries to convince herself that they can simply reconnect as friends, but the lyrics make it pretty clear that she is not fooling anyone, least of all herself.
What makes the song stand out is the way it captures that impulsive moment when you start making excuses, ignore your plans and end up at your ex’s door anyway. She knows they are better off apart, but the attraction is still there, and once she is face-to-face with him, whatever sensible thoughts she had seem to disappear. The repeated “It’s a bad idea, right?” sums up the whole situation perfectly, balancing the obvious answer with the fact that she is going to do it anyway. Below are the bad idea right clean lyrics by Olivia Rodrigo.

Ha, hey
Haven’t heard from you in a couple of months
But I’m out right now, and I’m all wrapped up
And you’re calling my phone, you’re all alone
And I’m sensing some undertone
And I’m right here with all my friends
But you’re sending me your new address
And I know we’re done, I know we’re through
But, God, when I look at you
My brain goes, “Ah”
Can’t hear my thoughts (I cannot hear my thoughts)
Like blah-blah-blah (Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah)
Should probably
I should probably, probably not
I should probably, probably not
Seeing you tonight
It’s a bad idea, right?
Seeing you tonight
It’s a bad idea, right?
Seeing you tonight
It’s a bad idea, right?
Seeing you tonight
Whatever, it’s fine
Yes, I know that he’s my ex
But can’t two people reconnect?
I only see him as a friend
The biggest lie I ever said
Oh, yes, I know that he’s my ex
But can’t two people reconnect?
I only see him as a friend
I just tripped and fell into his bed
Now I’m gettin’ in the car, wreckin’ all my plans
I know I should stop, but I can’t
And I told my friends I was asleep
But I never said where; in whose sheets
And I pull up to your place on the second floor
And you’re standing, smiling at the door
And I’m sure I’ve seen much hotter men
But I really can’t remember when
My brain goes, “Ah”
Can’t hear my thoughts (I cannot hear my thoughts)
Like blah-blah-blah (Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah)
Should probably
I should probably, probably not
I should probably, probably not
Seeing you tonight (Ah)
It’s a bad idea, right?
Seeing you tonight
It’s a bad idea, right?
Seeing you tonight
It’s a bad idea, right?
Seeing you tonight
Whatever, it’s fine
Yes, I know that he’s my ex
But can’t two people reconnect?
I only see him as a friend
The biggest lie I ever said
Oh, yes, I know that he’s my ex
But can’t two people reconnect?
I only see him as a friend
I just tripped and fell into his bed
Oh, yes, I know that he’s my ex
Can’t two people reconnect?
The biggest lie I ever said
I just tripped and fell into his bed
My brain goes, “Ah”
Can’t hear my thoughts
(The biggest lie I ever said)
My brain goes, “Ah”
Can’t hear my thoughts
(I just tripped and fell into his bed)
Thoughts, blah
Thoughts, blah
