Good For Each Other
J. Holiday Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We are good for each other
Yes, we are good for each other
We were meant to be together

Girl, we met such a long time ago
But I was too young and scared to let you know
But I'm standin' right here right now
Tellin' you I love you and I ain't gonna back down

In your life, it has changed but I know
It was a mistake to let you go
The situation ain't the same from before
Girl, can't be nothin' better than you and me forever
Like woodgrain and leather, we fit good together

We are good for each other
But that ain't all I gotta say, baby
We were meant to be together
'Cause we were meant to be together lady

We are good for each other
Yes, we are good for each other
We were meant to be together

Girl, the old sayin' is, 'What you love let it go
If it comes back then it was yours and if it don't then it won't
So that's what I did and girl, you came back so
Now you're mine that feelin' that's [Incomprehensible]

Just get ready for my love, get ready for my touch
'Cause I ain't gone never let nothin' come between us
Oh baby, come and be my lady
And we can be Bonnie and Clyde all up in my Mercedes

We are good for each other
But that ain't all I gotta say, baby
We were meant to be together
'Cause we were meant to be together lady

We are good for each other
Yes, we are good for each other
We were meant to be together

We were meant to be together
Like the sun and the moon and flowers in June
We were meant to be together
Just like paper and glue, B. B. King and the blues

We were meant to be together
Like Hennessey and Mary Jane, Tammy T and Marvin Gaye
But it's always been this way, it's gone always stay the same
We gone be forever like winter coat and sweater, oh, girl

We are good for each other
But that ain't all I gotta say, baby
We were meant to be together
But we were meant to be together, baby

We are good for each other
Yes, we are good for each other
We were meant to be together

Now the old sayin' is, 'What you love let it go
If it comes back then it was yours and if it don't then it won't"




So that's what I did and girl you came back
So now you're mine [Incomprehensible] yeah, yeah
