A Good Night
John Legend Lyrics

Yeah
An expression of acknowledgment or agreement

I had no intention I would get fucked up tonight
I had no plan to get extremely intoxicated tonight

But I looked in your eyes and they went through me like a knife
Your gaze pierced through me like a sharp instrument

I came here with my crew, I lost them
I arrived with my group, and now we've lost each other

Came with my cool, I dropped it
I arrived appearing confident or relaxed, but now I've lost that composure

And if I'm being honest, I'm being honest
This statement is an admission that what is being said is truthful

I can't think when you're looking like that
Your appearance makes it challenging for me to process thoughts

Can't breathe when you're moving like that
Your movements are so captivating that I'm finding it difficult to breathe

Tell me when you're gonna do me like that (ayy)
Inform me when you're going to act in that manner towards me

I'm too weak and I'm never like that
I'm typically strong-willed, but your presence has weakened me

Light-speed and I think I might crash
I'm experiencing a rush of emotions, and it feels like it might end catastrophically

One trip, damn, I might never go back
This one experience could be so impactful that it's difficult to return to normalcy

But everything's gonna be alright
Despite the intense emotions, the singer believes that everything will ultimately work out

I think I just met my wife (yeah, I said it)
The singer believes they have met the person they want to spend the rest of their life with

I know it's gonna be a good night
The singer has a feeling that this will be an enjoyable and memorable night

Maybe it's the music or the red stain on your lips
The artist is noting various factors that make the current situation enjoyable or enticing

I'm wondering when the right time is to go in for a kiss
The artist is thinking about the possibility of kissing the other person

But I'm thinking past that lover, I'm ready to meet your momma
The singer is thinking ahead to more significant relationship milestones, expressing the desire to meet the other person's family

If I'm being honest, I'm being honest
This statement is an admission that what is being said is truthful

I wish you knew what I'm thinking right now
The artist desires for the other person to know their current thoughts or feelings

I don't know if I can say it out loud
The artist is unsure if they feel comfortable expressing their thoughts verbally

Baby, baby, baby
An affectionate term directed towards the other person

You got me talking crazy
The other person's actions or presence has caused the singer to express themselves in a way they usually wouldn't

I figure if I say it
The artist believes that expressing their feelings will be beneficial or clarifying

You just might be my lady
The singer is expressing their romantic interest in the other person and the desire to potentially start a relationship

Baby, it's you, yeah
The singer is asserting that the other person is the one they are interested in

And ooh, I feel like something good is 'bout to be going on
The singer believes that this situation may lead to positive outcomes

And baby it's you, yeah, yeah
The artist is reaffirming that the other person is the one they are interested in

Everything's gonna be alright
Despite the intensity of the situation, the artist believes that everything will ultimately work out

I think I just met my wife
The singer believes that they have met the person they want to spend the rest of their life with

C'mon
An urging to others to join in on the positive experience

Sing it with me
An urging to others to join in on the experience of expressing positive feelings

Woo
An expression of excitement or enthusiasm

Alright
An expression of agreement or acceptance
