Still Good
Kenny Lattimore Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If everyday could be like
Waking up to your smile
And tasting your sweets lips
To put my day in motion
But I don't always recognize you
When you wear the pain you've been through
And I compete against a past
And learn it's more than an ocean

I'm not afraid of work
Even through the worst
Baby I'm staying with you
It's gonna be worth that I love you
Everybody knows that it's still good
(Life's been crazy, but I know baby)
Baby it's so good
(Good and bad times, cause you are mine)
(Our love, our love) Is still good
(Our love, our love) so good

Sometimes I don't know how to steer it
Can't really say that I've been fearless
But we've got too much invested
It's only fair that we're destined
(I don't want nobody but you)
(Big and strong when we go through)
On the other hand you still know you've got my devotion

I'm not afraid of work
Even through the worst
Baby I'm staying with you
It's gonna be worth that I love you
Everybody knows that it's still good
(Life's been crazy, but I know baby)
Baby it's so good
(Good and bad times, cause you are mine)
(Our love, our love) is still good
(Our love, our love) so good

It's been 10 years and I can't believe that my baby's home
I can even recall the day that you came along
All the years that we dated baby, then I made the call
And I brought you a cla**ic rock like the 80's songs
We the unbreakable perfect couple, he made us strong
Who would've ever predicted that I take a fall
You could've packed up and taken off
But instead you stuck with me through the greatest storm
And that's love, man the rain clouds
Didn't have a rule 'till you thought of how we exchanged vows
Yeah we faced trials, by the grace of God
Still good, now great, now real talk

I'm not afraid of work
Even through the worst
Baby I'm staying with you
It's gonna be worth that I love you
Everybody knows that it's still good
(Life's been crazy, but I know baby)
Baby it's so good
(Good and bad times, cause you are mine)
(Our love, our love) Is still good
(Our love, our love) so good

With the help of God
Anybody with s*** can make it
Don't give up on your husband




Don't give up on your wife
It's work, but it's worth it
