Totally un-related but do ya'll hear it as, "How bad do you want me" as in, how badly do you want me, or how bad do you want me to be?

I only realised today it could be both, which one do you think she means or is it intended to mean both?

I think it's intentionally ambiguous, but she's essentially asking him how much of a bad girl does he want her to be. I think of it as a feminine response to this song: 

"Want You Bad" means both "I want you a lot", and "I want you to be bad". GaGa's song is exactly the same.

Yeah, it definitely harkens back to Gaga’s 80s synthpop roots as well as her roots in early naughts “girlie pop” (a la Ally in ASIB), but it’s honestly the lyrics and the rhythmic music phrasing, as well as certain production nuances, that also evoke Taylor Swift. 

This is exactly what my friend said. She said this song is super Ally ASIB coded. The Ally era is underrated.

possibly except the cure is actually a great song
