I never dreamed I'd be making music for a living. I started out writing poetry and it turned into what it is now. Like anyone else who has walked a day in this crazy world, I have been through a lot to get to where I am at. I won't get into all that but what I will say is that God has blessed me with a gift to take everything I have been through, bottle it up inside my mind and then put it on paper. I think anyone that actually listens to the lyrics of my songs will understand who I am, what I've been through and what I am about. I can't express how appreciative I am to have the family, friends and fans that I do. Without yall I'm just another guy with a microphone. So, Thanks!
What's Good for the Goose
Charlie Farley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What's good for the gander is good for the goose
What goes around comes around fast.I put that on my life
If you can lie, I can lie to... ohh
What's good for the gander is good for the goose
Never knew how mad that would make me baby
What's good for the gander is good for the goose
Man me an that little cute thing we where in love
But mood swings from her had me workin late
Really I was an I was catchin a break
From her and her mean ways
I was in the pub jus chillin with a drank
Talkin, choppin it up with they guys
By now I done had about 5
In walked this little, oh my
five five blonde with blue eyes
Had a dually parked outside
Asking to borrow a cup full of ice
To go with her vodka and sprite
Next thing ya know the morning lite was peeking thru the windshield an sneaking into my eyes... damn
If you can lie, I can lie to... I put that on my life
What's good for the gander is good for the goose
What goes around comes around fast.I put that on my life
If you can lie, I can lie to... ohh
What's good for the gander is good for the goose
Never knew how mad that would make me baby
What's good for the gander is good for the goose
Yea I got that figured out lately
Well I woke up, ran out to my house to grab some stuff... hold up?
Wait... now what the what?
Whatsup with that that ain't my truck
I grabbed my bat kicked in the door
Where the hell is he at now tell me whore
A shot from a .44 put a hole in the floor right next to my feet good lord
Come here screw with my chick and then try to shoot me
Ehh uhh I don't think so noobie
He ran out and didn't ever stop
But I called the cops like slingblade
Fitna kill the somebitch right here
In the paddy wagon he dead, dead
All she said was how does it feel
to be on the other end of the knife when the blade went all in
Does it hurt? Do you Wana give in?
Yea...
Ain't gona lie Id rather die then go thru that twice
She said remember that next time you wana hangout all night
Why?
Baby because...
If you can lie, I can lie to... I put that on my life
What's good for the gander is good for the goose
What goes around comes around fast.I put that on my life
If you can lie, I can lie to... ohh
What's good for the gander is good for the goose
Never knew how mad that would make me baby
What's good for the gander is good for the goose
Yea I got that figured out lately
The lyrics to Charlie Farley's "What's Good for the Goose" talk about the idea of karma and how actions have consequences. The first verse says that if someone lies, the other person can lie too, and emphasizes that what's good for the gander (a male goose) is good for the goose (a female goose). This is a proverbial way of saying that what's fair for one person should be fair for the other.
The second verse talks about a man who was with his girlfriend but went to hang out with his friends at a bar. There, he met another woman and ended up spending the night with her. When the man woke up, he realized that his girlfriend's vehicle was missing and found that another man had taken it. The man went to the other man's house and threatened him, but the man pulled a gun and shot at him. The police eventually caught the other man, and the singer's girlfriend told him that he deserved it for cheating on her.
Overall, "What's Good for the Goose" is a cautionary tale about the consequences of one's actions and how they can come back to bite them. It emphasizes the importance of treating others fairly and not betraying people's trust.
