So Good
Robi Zonca Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

So good
I used to tell my friends that
I'm ok all by myself
I used to live my lonely life yeah
free the way I am
messin' around with pretty women
mmm the way I used to do
but something special happened to me

the moment I met you

Baby you drive my crazy so so good
I used to drink and smoke and
and walk over anyone
one day mad about a lady
next day another one
cheating jokein' rockin'n'rolling
the way I used to do
but something special happened to me
the moment I met you

Baby you drive my crazy so so good
SO SO GOOD!

Overall Meaning

In Robi Zonca's song "So Good," the singer describes his lifestyle before he met his significant other. He used to tell his friends he was fine being alone and lived a solitary life. He spent his time with women and didn't commit to any one person. He used to drink heavily and smoke, and didn't care about anyone's feelings. But everything changed when he met his love interest. She makes him crazy in the best way possible. The lyrics describe how meeting her was a pivotal moment in his life that changed his ways for the better.

The song's repetitive phrase "so good" conveys the intense feelings the singer has for his partner. The chorus contrasts with the verses, as Robi Zonca sings with more excitement and energy. The pre-chorus serves as a transition, with Zonca singing with more urgency as he describes how he used to live his life before he met his partner.

The lyrics offer insight into how meeting someone special can change one's perspective and habits. It is a celebration of being in love, and how it can bring out the best in someone who had previously led a reckless and irresponsible life.
