Ciara Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My goodies, my goodies
My goodies not my goodies
Petey Pablo:
I got a sick reputation for handlin' broads
All I need, is a few seconds or more
And it's a wrap
And I ain't coming back
So you can put the car right there
I'm the truth and I ain't got nothing to prove
And you can ask anybody
'Cause they seen me do it
Barricades, I run right through 'em
I'm used to 'em
Throw all the dirt, you want I'm used to it
Still gonna have a pent up in a fabulous room
Bone her back, picking at a basket of fruit
(I love you, boo)
Yeah, Freaky Petey love u too
Ha, ha, you know how I do it?
Ciara:
You may look at me and think that
I'm just a young girl but I'm not just a young girl
Baby this is what I'm lookin' for sexy, independent
Down to spend it type that's gettin' his dough
I'm not bein' too dramatic
That's the way I gotta have it
I bet you want the goodies
Bet you thought about it
Got you all hot and bothered
Mad 'cuz I talk around it
Looking for the goodies
Keep on looking 'cuz they stay in the jar
Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah
Just because you drive a Benz
I'm not goin' home wit you
You won't get no nookie or the cookies
I'm no rookie
And still I'm sexy, independent
I ain't wit it so you already know
I'm not bein' too dramatic
That's the way I gotta have it
You may feel slick, tryna hit
But I'm not dumb
I'm not bein' too dramatic
It's just how I gotta have it
I bet you want the goodies
Bet you thought about it
Got you all hot and bothered
Mad 'cuz I talk around it
Looking for the goodies
Keep on looking 'cuz they stay in the jar
Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah
Petey Pablo:
So damn hot but so young
You ain't got milk in your tongue
Slow down little one
You ain't got it all, hey shorty
You don't play the game
You may be bad, but you ain't bad
I'll show you what bad is
Bad is when you capable of beating the bag
I've been working at it ever since
I came to this planet
I ain't quite there yet
But I'm getting better at it
Matter of fact
Let me tell it to you once more again
All I got to do is tell a girl who I am (Petey)
Ain't one chick in here that I can't have
Bada boom bada bam bam bam
(You think I'm payin' for it?)
Ciara:
You're insulating that, I'm hot
But these goodies boy are not
Just for any of the many men that's tryna get on top
No you can't call me later
And I don't want your number
I'm not changing stories
Just respect the play I'm callin'
I bet you want the goodies
Bet you thought about it
Got you all hot and bothered
Mad 'cuz I talk around it
Looking for the goodies
Keep on looking 'cuz they stay in the jar
Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah
I bet you want the goodies
Bet you thought about it
Got you all hot and bothered
Mad 'cuz I talk around it
Looking for the goodies
Keep on looking 'cuz they stay in the jar
Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah
Ciara's "My Goodies" is a song that came out in 2004, and it was a part of her debut album "Goodies." "My Goodies" is about a young woman who knows what she wants and won't settle for less. The song starts with her repeating the phrase "my goodies," which we can infer means her body, but she wants to make sure that people know that these aren't just anybody's goodies. Petey Pablo then takes over the lyrics, boasting about his reputation for "handling broads" and his confidence in seducing women. He brags about how he can make any woman come to him and how he's not afraid of anything. Ciara then enters back in, stating that she's an independent woman who is not interested in a guy just because he has a fancy car but is looking for someone who can provide for himself. She implores him to respect her decision and recognize that she knows what she wants.
The song deals with the themes of female empowerment, independence, and the importance of self-respect. Ciara and Petey Pablo illustrate the power dynamics in dating and emphasize that women have the power to set boundaries and make decisions. It's also interesting to note that the lyrics reveal a glimpse of the rap industry culture, which is often obsessed with women's bodies and sexuality, and shows a female perspective. The song became a massive success and a trademark in her career, and her debut album sold over three million copies in the US alone.

My goodies, my goodies
I have something valuable that I keep to myself
My goodies not my goodies
Don't get confused, my goodies belong to me only
I got a sick reputation for handlin' broads
I have a bad reputation for how I treat women
All I need, is a few seconds or more
I don't need much time to get what I want from women
And it's a wrap
Once I'm done with you, it's over
You can tell the lady to bring my lap
I want you to sit on my lap
And I ain't coming back
I'm not going to stick around
So you can put the car right there
You can park your car over there and we'll do what we want
I'm the truth and I ain't got nothing to prove
I'm confident in myself and don't need to prove anything
And you can ask anybody
People know that I'm the real deal
'Cause they seen me do it
They've witnessed what I'm capable of
Barricades, I run right through 'em
I'm not afraid of obstacles, I'll overcome them
I'm used to 'em
I'm accustomed to facing challenges
Throw all the dirt, you want I'm used to it
You can talk bad about me, but I don't care
Still gonna have a pent up in a fabulous room
I'm still successful, despite what others may say about me
Bone her back, picking at a basket of fruit
I'm having sex and enjoying the fruits of my labor
(I love you, boo)
I have affection for my lover
Yeah, Freaky Petey love u too
I feel the same way about you
Ha, ha, you know how I do it?
You know my style and how I operate
You may look at me and think that
People might underestimate me
I'm just a young girl but I'm not just a young girl
I may be young, but I'm more than that
Baby this is what I'm lookin' for sexy, independent
I'm looking for someone who is attractive and has their own life
Down to spend it type that's gettin' his dough
Someone who is willing to spend money and has their own income
I'm not bein' too dramatic
I'm not exaggerating
That's the way I gotta have it
That's what I want and need
I bet you want the goodies
You want what I have
Bet you thought about it
You've fantasized about it
Got you all hot and bothered
You're turned on
Mad 'cuz I talk around it
You're frustrated because I'm not straightforward
Looking for the goodies
You're searching for something valuable
Keep on looking 'cuz they stay in the jar
You won't find what you're looking for, it's not for you
Just because you drive a Benz
You may have an expensive car
I'm not goin' home wit you
I have no interest in going home with you
You won't get no nookie or the cookies
You won't have sex, nor will you get any benefits
I'm no rookie
I'm experienced
And still I'm sexy, independent
I possess attractive qualities and am self-sufficient
I ain't wit it so you already know
I'm not interested so don't even try
You may feel slick, tryna hit
You might think you're clever, trying to get with me
But I'm not dumb
I'm not naive
It's just how I gotta have it
This is what I want and need
You're insulating that, I'm hot
You're attracted to me but I'm making it clear that it's not happening
But these goodies boy are not
But what I have is not up for grabs
Just for any of the many men that's tryna get on top
Not just anyone is getting my attention
No you can't call me later
Don't try and contact me again
And I don't want your number
I have no interest in having your contact information
I'm not changing stories
I'm being honest and sticking to what I've said
Just respect the play I'm callin'
Respect my decision and boundaries
So damn hot but so young
You're attractive but young
You ain't got milk in your tongue
You're inexperienced and naive
Slow down little one
Take it easy, you don't know what you're doing
You don't play the game
You don't understand how relationships work
You may be bad, but you ain't bad
You might think you're good, but you're not
I'll show you what bad is
I'll teach you a lesson
Bad is when you capable of beating the bag
Being bad means being capable of anything
I've been working at it ever since
I've been improving myself for a long time
I came to this planet
I've been around for a while
I ain't quite there yet
I'm not perfect yet
But I'm getting better at it
I'm improving and getting better with time
Matter of fact
In fact
Let me tell it to you once more again
Let me say it again
All I got to do is tell a girl who I am (Petey)
All I need to do is introduce myself
Ain't one chick in here that I can't have
I'm confident that any woman would want to be with me
Bada boom bada bam bam bam
It's that simple
