In 1992, the group released their self-titled debut album on Giant Records (the same record label that Tara Kemp was signed to.) The album didn't chart at all on the Billboard 200 or R&B albums chart. The group's biggest hit to date, "Never Satisfied" peaked at #64 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #10 on Billboard's Hot R&B Singles chart in April of 1992, staying on the chart for 19 weeks. The follow-up single, "He Thinks He's All That" was released, but didn't appear to make the charts at all. After that, it seemed that the group had faded into obscurity. Nothing has been heard from them since.

Never Satisfied
Good 2 Go Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Chorus:]
Never Satisfied
Never Satisfied
Never Satisfied
Never Satisfied

I know I've given you all that I've could
No matter what I do to you it never good

I'm always doin' the best that I can
The way you make me feel I never understand

You don't appreciate anything I ever do (No you don't appreciate the things I do)
All you do is complain, what's the matter with you

[Chorus:]
Never Satisfied... You are...
Never Satisfied... Never Satisfied...
Never Satisfied... No...
Never Satisfied

I go to work each day while you stay at home
Lying in bed all day while talkin' on my phone
Then you tell me that you need time alone
Out in the streets I'm like some stakin' doggone hoe

You don't appreciate anything I ever do (No you don't appreciate the things I do)
All you do is complain, what's the matter with you... No...

[Chorus:]
Never Satisfied... You are... Never...
Never Satisfied... Never Satisfied...
Never Satisfied... No...
Never Satisfied

I'll give the world to you if only I could
But you don't treat me like a gentleman should
I give you what you want and more than you need
I just can't understand why it's so hard to please

You don't appreciate anything I ever do (No you dooon't appreciate the things I do)
All you do is complain, what's the matter with you

Never Satisfied... (No no...)
Never Satisfied... (No no...)
Never Satisfied... (No no...)

I can never do egnough for you (Never Satisfied...) Can't you see my love is true (Never Satisfied...) x5
(Fade out)

Overall Meaning

The song "Never Satisfied" by Good 2 Go explores the familiar theme of an unappreciated lover in a relationship. The chorus repeats the title phrase four times, highlighting the frustration and disappointment felt by the singer towards their partner. The first verse describes how the singer has given their all to their partner, but nothing seems to be enough. He is doing the best he can, but she doesn't seem to understand how he's feeling, and complains instead of appreciating his efforts. The second verse highlights the inequality in the relationship as the singer goes to work while the partner stays at home. The partner is portrayed as lazy, ungrateful and demanding, always complaining and wanting more.

The chorus is repeated again, followed by the bridge where the singer expresses his willingness to give everything to the partner, but she still treats him badly. He can't understand why it's so hard to please her, despite providing her with what she wants and needs. The song then ends with the final repetition of "Never Satisfied," emphasizing the partner's constant dissatisfaction.

Overall, "Never Satisfied" is a song that speaks to the frustration and resentment felt by someone who feels they are giving their all in a relationship, but receiving little to no appreciation in return. The lyrics convey a sense of hopelessness, as the singer is left feeling unfulfilled and unhappy with the situation.

One of my favorite songs from '92. This song should have done better than #10 R&B, #64 Pop on the billboard. These woman was plagued by poor marketing from Giant Records. If you listen to one of the lead singers (Natalie Fernie), she explained how Giant Records pushed them to the backburner and they were eventually dropped. Such a shame, these ladies had potential. Big ups to the great Cliff Winston and the crew formally of 92.3 (KKBT) for playing the full version of this track.

Good 2 Go was a female R&B/dance vocal group from Los Angeles, consisting of Melissa Miller, Natalie Fernie, Kathy Webb, Cindy Shows and Missy Newman. They scored a one-hit wonder with their single "Never Satisfied," which peaked at #64 on the Billboard Pop Singles and at #10 on Billboard's R&B chart in 1992. The group released only one album, a self-titled release on Giant Records.
