Not to mention that Dark Paradise doesn't even have a single reference to being a bad girl in the entire song.
Dark Paradise is BLATANTLY about mourning a dead lover. Seriously, it's obvious. The lyrics couldn't make it more obvious. If you couldn't pick up on that meaning, you really have no place trying to discuss lyrics right now, because you blatantly don't understand even the most straightforward of her songs.
Not to mention you're not even using the word cliche correctly. ""Dark Paradise" only takes me to pages on pages about Lana's song, it's not a cliche. Cliche's are something that a lot of people use over and over again, to the point where it loses it's meaning. You finding something cheesy =/= cliche.
Seriously, is it so hard to admit you just really don't know what you're talking about? I know it's difficult to not understand an artist's lyrics, but that doesn't mean you have to try to label everyone who actually can figure out her lyrics as "stupid." You sound childish.

Death @ you getting so mad over opinions on a insignificant thread on a Internet forum

Since when have I labeled you stupid. I called the lyrics stupid.
I don't need an analysis of DP, it's obvious what it is about. Why are you so quick to ram it's plot down my throat?

I'm referring to other songs with her "Bad Girl" cliche.
Nancy Sinatra did the bad girl persona way better than Lana. She was able to show her vulnerable side with songs like "Bang Bang" and her bad ass bitch side with "These Boots Were Made For Walking". But in both she was able to still have that Bad Girl persona and maintain depth in her lyrics. Lana's idea of a "Bad Girl" is staying up all night, kissing in the D A R K, drinking 24/7 and partying. Where is the depth in that? She is essentially Ke$ha with an string set.
Lets look at some other cliches then. "I will love you to the end of time", "you are my one true love", putting on a red dress etc. She does use them a lot :vomit:
I'm not even gonna bother anymore

She isn't the most sophisticated or philosophical lyricist out there. Deal.
