DJ Mehdi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In your eyes before
It ain't good for you
It ain't good for me
It ain't good for nobody else
Lord knows i've done my share
Plus a whole lot more
Now you're through with me
You see I ain't got nobody else
And time flies
You'd better not let it run away from you
You'll never get it back now
So take me back now
Can't you see i ain't got nothing left
Baby but you, you, you
You'll never get it back now
So take me back now
Can't you see i ain't got nothing left
Baby it's true, true, so true
You'll never get it back now
So take me back now
Can't you see i ain't got nothing left baby but you
Can't stop thinking about
The moment you walked out that door
Wasn't good for me
Wasn't good for you
Wasn't good for nobody else
And Lord knows I've done my share
But lords also knows
That you don't care
He told me watch your step
And hold the line
Can't you see
You're wasting your time
The song "Lucky Boy" by DJ Mehdi has a message of desperation and regret from a person who has lost their significant other. The first few lines of the song convey a sense of familiarity with the pain being experienced by the person. The repetition of certain phrases like "It ain't good for you, it ain't good for me, it ain't good for nobody else" emphasize the gravity of the situation. The singer admits to having caused their own share of troubles in the past but promises to be true to the person they have lost. The lyrics urge the person to take them back because they realize they have nothing left without the love of their life.
In the second half of the song, the person laments the moment their love left and how it wasn't good for anybody else. They acknowledge the fact that they have sinned in the past but they also know that they are still deeply in love with their partner. The phrase "But lords also knows that you don't care" indicates that the person has tried to communicate how much they still love the other person but haven't received any response. The lyrics end on a note that tries to guilt-trip the person by highlighting how much time they are wasting and how they should reconsider their choice.

I've seen that same look
I recognize the emotion in your eyes
In your eyes before
I've seen it before
It ain't good for you
It's not beneficial for you
It ain't good for me
It's not good for me
It ain't good for nobody else
It's not good for anyone else
Lord knows i've done my share
I've made my fair amount of mistakes
Plus a whole lot more
And even more than just that
Now you're through with me
You've broken up with me
But i'll stay true to you
But I'll remain loyal to you
You see I ain't got nobody else
I don't have anyone else
And time flies
Time passes quickly
You'd better not let it run away from you
You shouldn't waste time
You'll never get it back now
You can't get the lost time back
So take me back now
So please take me back
Can't you see i ain't got nothing left
Don't you see I have nothing else
Baby but you, you, you
Except for you, you, you
Baby it's true, true, so true
It's true, really true
Can't stop thinking about
I can't stop thinking of
The moment you walked out that door
The exact moment you left
Wasn't good for me
It wasn't helpful for me
Wasn't good for you
It wasn't beneficial for you
Wasn't good for nobody else
It wasn't good for anyone else
But lords also knows
The higher power also knows
That you don't care
That you're indifferent
He told me watch your step
The higher power advised me to be careful
And hold the line
And be steadfast
Can't you see
Don't you realize
You're wasting your time
You're wasting your valuable time

10 years since he passed and his music still sounds light-years ahead of 99% of what's coming out even now. Rest well, King. You are missed.
