Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No woman no
I tell you what
I guess you was a good time girl (good time girl)
Good times are over so you left my world (left my world)
Now I'm standing all alone
No one to call my own, whoa
And I would give (i would give)
The very heart I have to make you live (make you live)
But when I needed just a shoulder
You showed me who you were, aye
I never thought that you would be the one
To turn your back when I needed a hand
Caught up in situation, blinded by the confrontation
Your actions I could never understand
I guess you was a good time girl (good time girl)
Good times are over so you left my world (left my world)
Now I'm standing all alone
No one to call my own, whoa
Old friends say (old friends say)
Man if she really love you she would stay (she would stay)
But then again, that just the games girls play
When they're no longer in love, aye
But I never thought that you would be the one, uh uh
To turn your back when I needed a hand
I could not find the reason
Where did I went wrong?
Girl, your actions I could never understand
I guess you was a good time girl (good time girl)
Good times are over so you left my world (left my world)
Now I'm standing all alone
No one to call my own, aye
I guess you was a good time, good time, good time girl
Good time, good time girl
I guess you was a good time, good time
Good time, good time, good time
(I guess she was, I guess she was a good time girl)
(I guess she was, I guess she was a good time girl)
(I guess she was, I guess she was a good time girl)
(I guess she was a good time girl)
I never thought that you would be the one
To turn your back when I needed a hand
Caught up in situation, blinded by the confrontation
Your actions I could never understand
I guess you was a good time girl (good time girl)
Good times are over so you left my world (left my world)
Now I'm standing all alone
No one to call my own
Now I'm standing all alone
No one to call my own
Now I'm standing all alone (ooh ooh)
No one to call my own (ooh ooh)
No one to call my own (ooh ooh)
No one to call my own (ooh ooh)
No one to call my own (ooh ooh)
In Buju Banton's song Good Times, he addresses a woman who was only around for the good times in their relationship, but left when things got tough. He sings about how he would give his heart to make her happy, but when he needed her support, she showed her true colors. The chorus repeats the phrase "I guess you was a good time girl," emphasizing the theme of the woman only being interested in being in the relationship when it was easy and fun. Banton expresses confusion about the woman's actions, questioning what he did wrong and why she turned her back on him in a time of need.
The lyrics of Good Times show how relationships can be one-sided, where one person is only interested in being with the other when it benefits them. Banton's words also convey a sense of hurt, as he is left standing alone and without anyone to call his own. Through his song, Banton encourages people to be honest with their intentions in relationships and to prioritize standing by their partner in both good times and bad.
