She Was Too Good to Me
Big Bop Nouveau Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How can I get along now?
So close she stood to me
Everything seems all wrong now
She would have brought me the sun
Making me smile, that was her fun
If I was mean to her
I was a king to her
Who's gonna light my way now?
It's only natural I'm so blue
She was too good to be true
She was too good to me
How can I get along now?
So close she stood to me
Everything seems all wrong now
She would have brought me the sun
Making me smile, that was her fun
If I was mean to her
She'd never say go away now
I was a king to her
Who's gonna light my way now?
It's only natural I'm so blue
She was too good
She was too good to me
She was too good to be true
The lyrics to Big Bop Nouveau & Maynard Ferguson's song "She Was Too Good to Me" describe a feeling of loss and emptiness that the singer experiences after losing the person who meant everything to them. The first verse describes how close the two were, and how the woman brought joy and sunshine to the singer's life. The second verse touches on the fact that she was always kind, even when the singer was mean to her. The chorus emphasizes the title of the song, repeating that she was too good to him, and that everything seems wrong now that she's gone.
The song is speaking to the universal feeling of losing someone who was too good for us, whether that be a friend, partner or family member. The lyrics give us an impression that the singer took the relationship for granted, and now they are left alone and regretful. The song can remind us of the people in our own lives that we care for and appreciate, and how important it is to savor those connections while we can.
