Too Good To Be True
Palmer Robert Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She knows what to say, she knows what to do
Every move she makes, she makes just for you
She knows just how to change your mind
You think you've pinned her down
She's got you undersigned
They broke the mould, when they made you
She knows when to leave, she knows when to stay
When she takes her turn, she knows how to play
There's more, you haven't seen it all
You're going to have to learn to keep up with her
She's too good to be true
They broke the mould, when they made you
She's too good to be true
They broke the mould, when they made you
She knows just how to change your mind
You think you've pinned her down
She's got you undersigned
She's too good to be true
They broke the mould, when they made you
Too good to be true
They broke the mould, when they made you
She's too good to be true

In "Too Good To Be True," Palmer Robert sings about a woman who seems to have an innate understanding of how to please her man. She knows how to say and do the right things, and every move she makes is just for him. Even when he thinks he has figured her out, she manages to surprise him with her ability to change his mind.
However, the song cautions that this woman might be too good to be true. The singer points out that she knows how to leave at the right time and stay when she needs to, and that there's much more to her than the man has seen thus far. He concludes that she's simply too perfect for him, and that they must have "broken the mold" when she was made.
The meaning of this song seems to be that sometimes, things that seem too good to be true actually are. While the woman in the song seems perfect on the surface, her ability to manipulate the man leads him to believe that there's something deeper beneath the surface. Furthermore, the repetition of the line "they broke the mold, when they made you" suggests that the woman is truly exceptional and does not conform to societal norms or expectations.
Overall, "Too Good To Be True" is a cautionary tale about being wary of things that seem too perfect. The song suggests that sometimes, things that seem flawless on the surface may have hidden flaws that only reveal themselves over time.
