Be Good to Me
Christine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everything comes to an ending
No matter who you are above
I am here and I'm pretending
That I don't miss the things I love

Don't make me feel bad for the things that I can't change
Don't lay my life out let me make my own mistakes
(Chorus)

I'm running from reason
Kicking and screamin'
Don't run my life
I know there ain't no second try
'Cause I just wanted to be 18
I wasn't built for waiting
Just let me live my life
Let me be

It's like you think I never listen
Don't discriminate, don't make me hesitate
And I, I think things happen for a reason
I always run so fast, I can't hear what they're sayin'
Don't turn up your nose and turn away your head
I may be younger but I'm smarter than you said

(Chorus)

Don't blame yourself
Oh, I just can't figure me out
You walk but I run
You're not me, I'm the only one

(Chorus)

Yeah, let me be




Oh, let me be
Let me be

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Christine's song "Be Good to Me" is about a person who is trying to live their life, but is continuously judged and held back from doing so. The opening lines of the song suggest that everything ultimately comes to an end, regardless of who you are or what you do. Despite this, the singer is pretending that they don't miss the things they love. This can be interpreted as an attempt to justify their actions and convince others that they are okay with moving on.


The singer then pleads not to be made to feel bad for the things that they cannot change. They ask to be allowed to make their own mistakes, learn from them, and live their life on their own terms. The chorus of the song emphasizes this as they state that they are running from reason and kicking and screaming. They do not want others to dictate their life and know that there is no second chance in life. They just want to be 18, live their life on their own terms, and be accepted and loved for who they are.


The second verse continues with the idea that the singer is open to listen to others but is tired of being discriminated against and hesitant. They acknowledge that things happen for a reason but they are unable to hear what others are saying as they are always on the run. The song concludes with the singer asking to be let go, to be allowed to live free of judgment, and to be themselves.
