Good For You
Kristie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There you go again actin' like my heart ain't stolen
Like you don't got me writing songs for you at night
Alone in my bedroom
Dreaming 'bout the type of love

That only leaves you hopeless (hopeless)
Can we change the narrative
Is there something more to this
'Cause I want what you have to offer
But I know that you like to call it quits when it gets hard
And we know that it's too good
To waste what we've got on other fools

They don't know what's good for you
They don't know you like I do
Good for you
You know I'm good for you
Yeah baby I'm trying to tell you that
I need you to show up and prove
That I'm good for you
They're no good for you
Love you like I

Do you believe in the kind of love
That came here from a past life
'Cause I just don't believe that we were meant to be completely strangers
Tell me it'll last
Nothing like your past relationships
You're always running from the problems boy
But that's a part of love
Part of love

And I want what you have to offer
But I know that you like
To call it quits when it gets hard
And we know that it's too good (too damn good)
To waste what we've got on other fools
They don't know what's good for you
They don't love you like I do

Good for you
You know I'm good for you
Yeah baby I'm trying to tell you that
I need you to show up and prove
That I'm good for you
They're no good for you
Love you like I do

Good
For
Good for you
I'm good for you
Good




For
Yeah you know that I'm good for you
