Good Love
BJ The Chicago Kid Lyrics

Hey, I wanna give you a little advice
I want to offer you some guidance on your situation.

I noticed that you're not acting yourself
You seem to be behaving differently than usual.

And I'm sure you're probably having some problems in your relationship
I believe that you are experiencing difficulties in your romantic partnership.

But, I want to tell you this
However, there is something important I need to say.

I met this guy that, uh, this guy that you dated
I encountered a man who you used to be in a relationship with.

And I can't think of his name, but anyway
I can't recall his name, but that is unimportant.

He says he's a nice young fella
He claims to be a kind and pleasant gentleman.

And I gotta say this, if you're willing to work it out That shows you love one another
I must express that if both parties in a relationship are willing to put in the effort to resolve their issues, it demonstrates a deep love and care for each other.

For him she packed all her Louie (All her Louie) All her Gucci (All her Gucci) All her Prada (All her Prada) But somehow she left her heart
She brought all her designer possessions when leaving him, but in the process left behind her emotional attachment to him.

I heard that she called her momma (She called her momma) Told her she's leaving (Told her she's leaving) Said she was tired (Said she was tired) Momma said, "Tired ain't through"
She informed her mother that she was departing from the relationship due to being worn out, but her mother advised her that being tired is not a valid excuse.

She didn't understand She didn't know the power of man
She did not grasp the sway that men hold.

So we both know One day she's going back to be with him, be with him So whoever's ? is just a rebound, rebound, a rebound I call it recess But when this gets old, you better know, she's going back To that good old, good old Faithful, faithful, faithful
It is evident that she will eventually return to her ex, so whoever she is with currently is just a temporary fling. I refer to it as a brief break from her ex, but she will eventually go back to his consistent and dependable love.

Dear me, you got some work to do to better you He said some hurtful things, but I know all of it was true
You have some personal growth to undertake to improve yourself. Although he said some painful words, I recognize that they were all valid.

I may not mean it though it comes off as an attitude And that ain't good for us, when we have problems I can't talk 'em through
I may not intend to have an attitude when we communicate, but it can come across that way. This is detrimental to us as a couple since we cannot work through our issues.

Gotta learn to listen, can't cut him off when he talkin' too I know you only get upset though cause you love him, this is true Really don't understand and he need to stop and listen too A two-way street, you both need to meet like tires on the Coupe
It's necessary to become better listeners and not interrupt each other while communicating. I recognize that your anger stems from a place of love for him. However, he also needs to hear you out. Our partnership must be a two-way street, just like the wheels on a car.

I know it's hard cause you was raised that way just like your momma And you yell a bit and that was it, that really drove him off the roof Got you packin' bags, when inside you know you don't wanna lose What you got, cause baby make you laugh and when it all is cool
I understand that it's challenging to change your behavior because that is how your upbringing taught you to be, much like your mother. Your tendency to yell drove him away, which resulted in you packing up to leave, but deep down, you don't want to lose what you have with him because he brings you happiness.

And all is cool, but then you got some pride and got some scars to prove That you don't trust him, thought your heart is crying all the baby blues The other dude's lyin' about the way you feel about him too And momma askin' how you do and you say, "Fine" she know that you Pretending, she remembering that she was young just like you
Even though things may seem fine, your pride and past hurts prevent you from fully trusting him. Your heart aches, but you hide it by pretending everything is okay. Additionally, another guy lies about your feelings towards him, and your mother knows that when you say you are fine, it is not the truth. She remembers what it was like to be young, just like you.

Tryin' to talk, but you won't listen, stubborn but you're hurtin' boo You left your heart and I know he's all you think about
I attempt to talk to you, but you won't listen due to being stubborn, but this is causing you distress. You left your heart with him and I can see that he is all you can think about.

Brand new start just won't happen cause you just can't do without Yo, I got it bad I'm tryin' to fight it, hide it from the world But momma's right, damn, she really knows her baby girl Checkin' on his twitter page to see what he did yesterday I miss him and this dating game I'm playing is just that, a game
It's impossible to have a new beginning because you cannot live without him. I have a strong attachment to him, try as I might to hide it from others. However, mother is correct as she truly understands her daughter. I check his Twitter page to see what he is doing because I still miss him. This new dating lifestyle is just a facade since I still yearn for him.

Thumbing through my contacts, always manage to stop on his name I wanna call him, well dammit won't you do it then? I tell myself, wastin' all this time on all these other men That interest and it's just a break though until I'm back with him
As I browse through my phone contacts, I always pause on his name, wanting to call him. I feel frustrated with myself for not doing it. Instead, I waste my time and energy on other men who do not interest me since it's only temporary until I am reunited with him.

Unless he datin' too, unlike me, havin' fun with them Makin' love with them, cause maybe he feels that I'm over him Then what? What if he don't take me back forever Then I'm left here with these maybes and what if we stuck together And these why you nevers, like why you never call him?
Unless he is also in a relationship, unlike me, having fun with other people and possibly having sex with them, thinking I have already moved on. What if he does not take me back for good? I would have to face the idea of uncertain possibilities and being stuck. These thoughts plague me, like why I never call him.

Thinkin' of my lonely days stuck in my room bawlin' Rain on the window mirror, saw the tears I let go My pride and all these scars inside, it's time for me to let go So what we fall, like momma said, it's not unusual Need to pack my bags, go back, cause what we had was beautiful
I reflect on my past loneliness, where I sat in my room crying. Rain cascaded down my window mirror as my tears streamed down my face. My pride and emotional scars require me to let go of my past and move on. Falling is a normal part of life, like momma says. It's time for me to pack my bags and return to what we had, which was a beautiful relationship.
