Good Guys Go
Cub Sport Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It′s all I wanna know
Where's the one I wanna find
I mean I′ve been doing fine but I
You know you keep me up when you're going up without me
You know it's wearing me down when you act tough around me
You know I′m breaking my back to try and keep you coming back to me
You know I′m breaking my back
You know I'm breaking my back
You know I′m breaking my back
Where do all the good guys go
It's all I wanna know
Where′s the one I wanna find
I mean I've been doing fine but I
Where do all the good guys go
It′s all I wanna know (Where they go, where they go)
Where's the one I wanna find
I mean I've been doing fine but I
(I wouldn′t mind)
I try to keep you up so you′re having fun around me
And all the things you say they fill me and you surround me
You know I'm breaking my back to try
And make sure you′re still happy with me
You know I'm breaking my back
You know I′m breaking my back
You know I'm breaking my back
Where do all the good guys go
It′s all I wanna know
Where's the one I wanna find (Wanna find)
I mean I've been doing fine but I (I
Wouldn′t mind, wouldn′t mind, wouldn't mind)
Where do all the good guys go (Where they go)
It′s all I wanna know (I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know)
Where's the one I wanna find (Wanna find)
I mean I′ve been doing fine but I
I wouldn't mind, wouldn′t mind, wouldn't mind
The lyrics of Cub Sport's song "Good Guys Go" express a sense of longing and confusion about the whereabouts of good, compassionate men in the singer's life. The opening line, "Where do all the good guys go, it's all I wanna know," sets the tone for the song and reveals the singer's desire to find someone who aligns with their values and treats them well.
The repeated phrase "You know I'm breaking my back" suggests that the singer is putting in a lot of effort and sacrificing themselves emotionally to maintain a connection with someone. They are willing to go to great lengths to keep this person interested and involved in their life. However, the line "You know it's wearing me down when you act tough around me" highlights the toll that this relationship dynamic is taking on the singer's emotional well-being. They are growing weary of trying to please this person and are becoming aware of the imbalance in the relationship.
The chorus of the song further emphasizes the singer's search for a genuine, empathetic partner. They express their contentment with their own life but still wouldn't mind finding someone who meets their expectations. They are open to the possibility of a fulfilling relationship and long to find "the one." The repetition of the line "Where do all the good guys go" echoes their ongoing quest and amplifies the sense of longing.

Where do all the good guys go
I'm curious about the whereabouts of all the morally upright men
It's all I wanna know
That's the only thing I'm interested in knowing
Where's the one I wanna find
Where can I find the person I desire
I mean I've been doing fine but I
Although I've been doing well on my own
You know you keep me up when you're going up without me
I feel left out and down when you succeed without involving me
You know it's wearing me down when you act tough around me
I feel exhausted when you put on a strong facade in front of me
You know I'm breaking my back to try and keep you coming back to me
I'm working tirelessly to make sure you continue to choose me
You know I'm breaking my back
You're aware that I'm putting in immense effort
Where do all the good guys go
Again, where have all the morally upright men disappeared to
Where's the one I wanna find
Where can I find the person I desire
I mean I've been doing fine but I
Although I've been doing well on my own
I try to keep you up so you're having fun around me
I make an effort to ensure that you enjoy your time with me
And all the things you say they fill me and you surround me
The things you say have a profound impact on me and they create an atmosphere around us
You know I'm breaking my back to try
You're aware that I'm putting in immense effort to
And make sure you're still happy with me
And ensure that you remain content with our relationship

Although I've been doing well on my own
I wouldn't mind, wouldn't mind, wouldn't mind
I wouldn't object or be opposed to it
