Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So much you can't hide
Put on a little makeup, makeup
Make sure they get your good side, good side
If the words unspoken
Get stuck in your throat
Send a treasure token token
Goody two, goody two, goody goody two shoes
Goody two, goody two, goody goody two shoes
Don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do?
Don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do?
Subtle innuends follow
There must be something inside
We don't follow fashion
That would be a joke
You know we're going to set them, set them
So everyone can take note, take note
When they saw you kneeling
Crying words that you mean
Opening their eyeballs, eyeballs
Pretending that you're Al Green, Al Green
Goody two, goody two, goody goody two shoes
Goody two, goody two, goody goody two shoes
Don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do?
Don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do?
Subtle innuends follow
There must be something inside
No one's gonna tell me
What's wrong or what's right
Or tell me who to eat with sleep with
Or that I've won the big fight, big fight
Look out or they'll tell you
You're a Superstar
Two weeks and you're an all time legend
I think the games have gone much too far
If the words unspoken
It get stuck in your throat
Send a treasure token, token
Write it on a pound note, pound note
Don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do?
Don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do?

The song "Goody Two Shoes" by ANT is a quirky, upbeat song that describes the pressures and expectations of society. The first verse tells the listener to put on a happy face and show their good side, even when experiencing heartbreak. It suggests that there are many things that we cannot hide, but we still attempt to put on a facade. The chorus repeats the phrase "goody two shoes" which implies someone who is overly virtuous or perfect.
The second verse talks about how people often make assumptions about those who do not follow the norm. The line "subtle innuendos follow, there must be something inside" suggests that society thinks that those who do not drink or smoke must have some kind of secret problem or flaw. The song also touches on social pressure to conform and follow fashion trends. It ends with a defiance against societal expectations and a call to be true to oneself.
Overall, the song is a commentary on the pressure to conform and the fear of being judged by society. It encourages individuality and self-expression, despite social norms.

Mocking the idea that you have to be someone else to be accepted
No one's gonna tell me
Refusing to let others dictate your choices
What's wrong or what's right
Believing in making your own moral decisions
Or tell me who to eat with sleep with
Refusing to let others control your social and romantic life
Or that I've won the big fight, big fight
Rejecting the idea that you need to compete to be successful
Look out or they'll tell you
Beware of those who try to control or influence you
You're a Superstar
Trying to make you feel like you need to be famous to be validated
Two weeks and you're an all time legend
The fleeting nature of fame
I think the games have gone much too far
Disgust with the idea of superficiality being more important than substance
He said, don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do?

Don't drink don't smoke, what do you do?
Subtle innuends follow
There must be something inside
He said no drink, don't smoke, what do you do?
Don't drink don't smoke, what do you do?
Subtle innuends follow
There must be something inside
