Goodies
Ciara Lyrics

My goodies, my goodies, my goodies
Ciara's referring to herself and her desirable attributes

Not my goodies
The lyrics emphasize that her goodies belong to her, and not anyone else's

I got a sick reputation for handling broads
Ciara is known for her expertise in managing her relationships

All I need is me a few seconds or more (a few seconds or more)
She can make any man fall for her in a matter of seconds

And it's a wrap, tell valet to bring my 'Lac
She's leaving and won't be returning

So you can put a car right there (put a car right there)
She's leaving for good, and there's no going back

I'm the truth, and I ain't got nothin' to prove
She's confident in her abilities and doesn't need to prove them to anyone

And you can ask anybody
Her reputation precedes her, and everyone knows about her prowess

'Cause they seen me do it (they seen me do it)
People have witnessed her success with relationships

Barricades, I run right through 'em, used to 'em
She's not afraid of obstacles and has faced them before

Throw all the dirt you want, there's no use (it's no use)
People can try to bring her down, but it won't work

You still won't have a pent' up in a fabulous room
Her success in relationships has given her status and wealth

Up on her back, picking out a basket of fruit
She's living a luxurious life and can afford luxury items

I love you, boo
She's expressing affection for her partner

Yeah, Freaky Petey love you too, haha
The partner is reciprocating the affection

You know how I do it (that goodie goodie)
She's referring to her skill in relationships and intimacy

You may look at me and think that I'm just a young girl
People may underestimate her due to her age and appearance

But I'm not just a young girl
She's confident and capable beyond what they expect

Baby, this is what I'm looking for
She's knows what she wants in a partner

Sexy, independent, down to spend it type that's gettin' his dough
She's looking for someone attractive, self-sufficient, and financially successful

I bet you want the goodies (uh)
She knows that men are attracted to her

Bet you thought about it (yeah)
She's aware of their interest

Got you all hot and bothered (ow)
She knows she's having an effect on them

Mad 'cause I talk around it (yeah)
She's teasing them and not giving them everything they want

If you're looking for the goodies (uh)
She's warning them that they won't find what they're looking for

Keep on looking, 'cause they stay in the jar (uh)
Her goodies are hers to keep, and not for anyone else

So damn hot, but so young (so young)
She's attractive and desirable, despite her age

You ain't got milk on ya tongue
She knows that they're young and inexperienced

Slow down, lil' one
She's telling them to take it easy

We ain't got long
Their time together is limited

Hey shorty, ya both play the game (wait a minute)
She acknowledges that they're both participating in the game of relationships

You think you bad, but you ain't bad (I'm bad)
She's acknowledging their confidence, but also asserting her superiority

I'll show you what bad is (I'm bad)
She's claiming to be even better than they think they are

Bad is when you're capable of beatin' the baddest (I'm bad)
She's saying that she's capable of winning against anyone

I've been workin' at it ever since I came to this planet
She's been working on her relationship skills her entire life

I ain't quite there yet, but I'm gettin' better at it (I'm bad)
She's improving her skills and getting better

Matter of fact
She's asserting her authority

Lemme tell it to you one mo' 'gain (ayy)
She's repeating her dominance

All I got to do is tell a girl who I am (Petey)
She just needs to assert herself to get what she wants from other girls

Ain't ne'er chick in here that I can't have
She knows that she can get any girl she wants

Bada-boom, bada-bam, ba-bam (I'm bad)
She's using a catchphrase to emphasize her dominance

You're insinuating that I'm hot
She knows they're attracted to her physically

But these goodies, boy, are not
She's telling them that her real worth isn't in her looks

Just for any of the many men that's tryna get on top
She's not interested in just being objectified by men

No, you can't call me later
She's not giving them her number

And I don't want your number (nah)
She's repeating her assertion

I'm not changin' stories
She's not going to compromise her ideals or intentions

Just respect the play I'm callin'
She's telling them to respect her decisions and to stop trying to change her mind
