Grandma Calls The Boy Bad News Lyrics
[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, you
What would she do?
What would grandma do, do, do?
[Verse 1]
On a Monday night, the rose and crown was a man watching me (Yeah, yeah)
He had the refrigerated log, a demena, he bit the ball told with his teeth off (Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, yeah)
He has all but had trouble in his eyes and a smile to start a fire (Yeah, yeah)
There inside my dull, uninspired heart, mm (Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, yeah)
Fast forward to a couple of weeks and I think I’ve fallen in love (Yeah, yeah)
He doesn’t have anything going for him but has a little red car he calls her Carly (Carly)
I’m sitting beside him with my hand in his pocket and we’re driving, we know where to go
But how it soothes my aching soul (But how it soothes my aching soul)
Ooh, woo-woo-woo
[Chorus]
Girl, what would your mother say?
She said, “Take your time, baby, you can go both ways”
Girl, what would your daddy say?
He said I could do better, do, doo-doo-do better (Woo-woo-woo)
Girl, what would your grandma do?
Oh, what would she do?
She would get on her knees and pray that I don’t make this mistak
randma calls the boy “Bad News”
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh, oh (Yeah, yeah)
(Oh, yeah, oh, yeah)
And she says that I can do better, do, do-do-do better
[Verse 2]
On a Tuesday morning in his bedroom I lay tangled in his arms (Yeah, yeah)
He still lives in his mother’s house but it does that to his charms (Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, yeah)
I lay my head on his tattoo chest that spells out Carpe Diem, baby (Yeah, yeah)
Then he asked me to be his lady the God think well (Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, yeah)
[Chorus]
Girl, what would your mother say?
She said, “Take your time, baby, you can go both ways”
Girl, what would your daddy say?
He said I could do better, do, doo-doo-do better (Woo-woo-woo)
Girl, what would your grandma do?
Oh, what would she do?
She would get on her knees and pray that I don’t make this mistak
randma calls the boy “Bad News”
[Bridge]
And she calls the boy
Bad, bad news, baby (Oh-oh-oh)
Running, running, ’round town with her baby
Fall into her knees and she’s praying (What would grandma do?)
And then she cussing me out on the phone
She’d told me get a con, get my ass back home
When will I come to my senses?
Oh-oh-oh
[Chorus]
Girl, what would your mother say?
She said, “Take your time, baby, you can go both ways”
Girl, what would your daddy say?
He said I could do better, do, doo-doo-do better (Woo-woo-woo)
Girl, what would your grandma do?
Oh, what would she do?
She would get on her knees and pray that I don’t make this mistak
randma calls the boy “Bad News”
[Outro]
And she says that I can do (Yeah, yeah)
Do-do-do better, do, do-do-do (Yeah, yeah)
And she think that I could (Yeah, yeah)
Do better, do, do-do-do (Yeah, yeah)
But she thinks that I could (Yeah, yeah)
You could do better, do, do-do-do (Yeah, yeah)
But who knows if or will I want or won’t do (Yeah, yeah)
Do better, do, do-do-do (Yeah, yeah)

Grandma Calls The Boy Bad News Lyrics Meaning
[Intro]
The girl is thinking about what her grandma would say or do about the guy she’s seeing.
[Verse 1]
One night at the Rose and Crown bar, she notices a man watching her. He has this intense, kind of reckless vibe—trouble written all over his face, but also something exciting in his smile. She’s feeling uninspired and emotionally flat, but something about him lights a spark inside her. Fast forward a few weeks, and even though this guy has no real direction or ambition, she’s totally fallen for him. He drives a small red car he’s named Carly, and though they don’t have a clear destination in life, just being close to him comforts her. She’s riding around with him, hand in his pocket, feeling strangely at peace despite all the obvious flaws. Her heart’s leading the way, not her head, and it’s like she’s found an escape from whatever emptiness she felt before. Even though everything about him screams chaos, he’s somehow soothing her broken parts.
[Chorus]
Her mom would tell her to slow down and not rush, reminding her she’s got choices. Her dad would straight-up say she deserves someone better. And then there’s her grandma—she wouldn’t just talk, she’d be down on her knees, praying hard that her granddaughter doesn’t make a big mistake by sticking with this guy. To her, he’s clearly just bad news waiting to happen.
[Post-Chorus]
Grandma keeps repeating that she believes her granddaughter is capable of more, that she deserves someone better than this.
[Verse 2]
One morning, she’s lying in his arms in his bedroom. He still lives with his mom, which might be a red flag for most people, but she finds it kind of charming. She rests on his chest, which has a tattoo saying “Carpe Diem,” meaning live in the moment. Then, he asks her to be his girlfriend, and even though her brain might be raising alarms, her heart is feeling flattered and drawn in.
[Chorus]
Her mom still advises her to take her time and keep her options open. Her dad continues to think she’s settling for less than she deserves. And grandma, well, she’s still down on her knees, praying she doesn’t go through with this. She sees him as nothing but trouble—just plain bad news.
[Bridge]
Grandma isn’t hiding her feelings—she’s made it clear she thinks the guy’s no good. She’s worried sick, imagining her granddaughter running around with someone who’s going to hurt her. She’s praying constantly and even getting angry over the phone, telling her to wise up, use protection, and come back home before things go really wrong. She’s just waiting for her to realize what’s happening and wake up.
[Chorus]
Once again, mom wants her to be patient, dad says she can aim higher, and grandma is still begging the universe to steer her away from this mistake. The warnings are loud and clear, but the girl’s caught in her feelings and unsure what to do.
[Outro]
Grandma keeps insisting she could totally do better, and deep down, the girl kind of knows it too. Everyone believes she deserves more, but she’s still unsure if she’ll actually walk away or keep going down this road. She’s stuck between knowing better and feeling too much to stop.
