Goody Goody
Frank Sinatra & Dean Martin/Sam Lyrics

The lyrics to Frank Sinatra's song Goody Goody tells the story of a lover who has been betrayed by their partner who has moved on and fell for someone else. The first two lines of the song set the narrative of the rest of the song, highlighting how the singer has fallen for someone new and is now experiencing the same heartbreak that they once imposed on their previous lover.

The third and fourth lines refer to how the singer gave their heart to their previous lover, similar to their new lover. However, the rhyme scheme makes it evident that the song is focused on the singer's experience. The next line refers to how their previous lover broke their heart into little pieces, thereby showing a form of revenge in the lyrics. The following line is somewhat sarcastic, with the singer asking their previous lover how they are feeling now that the tables have turned.

The second verse mentions how the singer can't sleep because they're unhappy about the relationship's outcome. The next line mentions how the singer now believes that love is dangerous, like a barrel of dynamite. The chorus of the song is a form of schadenfreude, wishing the person who caused emotional pain to the singer to have an equal experience.
