TOO GOOD TOO BAD
Cowboy Bebop O.S.T 1 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Too bad baby, can this be, is there something wrong with you and me.
Guess we'll see I confess I don't know how we got into this mess might have guessed.
Day by day you're slowly running out of things to say.
So I may ask you why is it always me who has to try.
To make things feel right.

You never told what you feel inside, I thought you loved me, now I realise.
No matter how I try
You never seem to be satisfied.
And now you're tellin' me it's...

[Chorus: x2]
Too bad baby that you're so good to me, I like you, you love me.
Too bad baby you're so into me, I can't breathe.
You fall in love too easily.

Me and you, are slowly running out of things to do, nothing new.
I don't know, just why we don't agree, when I say YES, and you say NO.
Don't be shy, please tell why it is that we don't see
Eye to eye
So confused, I'm feeling helpless and I'm feeling used.
Like yesterdays news, girl

You never told what you feel inside, I thought you loved me, now I realise.
No matter how I try
You never seem to be satisfied.
And now you're tellin' me it's...

[Chorus]

It started from the day I met her
Walked over me I let her.
Friends who told me go and get her
They're telling me forget her.
Too bad baby, Think I'm going crazy.
Someone take me
Nothings gonna save me.





[Chorus: x2]

Overall Meaning

TOO GOOD TOO BAD is a song from the Cowboy Bebop O.S.T 1, and it is an emotional track that can be interpreted in different ways. At a first glance, the lyrics seem to be about a troubled relationship between two people who are slowly drifting apart. It is revealed that one person seems to be satisfied, while the other feels like they are trying too hard to make things work. The lines "Day by day, you're slowly running out of things to say, so I may ask you why is it always me who has to try to make things feel right" showcases the singer's frustration towards the one who does not seem to be putting in the same effort.


Furthermore, the song also highlights the lack of communication between the two people. The lines "You never told what you feel inside, I thought you loved me, now I realize" shows that the singer is surprised by the sudden change in their relationship. The chorus, which is repeated twice, is all about the irony of the situation. The singer knows that the other person is good to them, but they still feel like something is wrong.


Overall, TOO GOOD TOO BAD is not just a song about a relationship but about the complexity of human connections. The song is a perfect blend of melancholy, confusion, and unease, which is characteristic of the Cowboy Bebop OST.

When your space shuttle main engines are running at full throttle without an external fuel tank, but you don't care because the scene is so cool.

@cake6476

@nihal2055

@Cake64 I saw some on the sides. I thought those were being ejected

@cake6476

@Nihal when the shuttle's cargo bay opens to collect spike's ship, a spent fuel tank comes out of it first
