Good Stuff
Shakira Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am here to make them true, don't wonder
You don't have to rub a lamp
'Cause I'll take care of you
Nobody knows, nobody knows
Nobody knows, nobody knows
You know a girl like me is difficult to find
I bet you've never seen nothing like this before
I bet you've never met someone who loved you more
You know that I'm a witch and I can read your mind boy
Where do I have to sign
I'm on a board
My new resolution is to trust you
My business to love you until you've had it
I'm not gonna miss out on the good stuff
The grass is much greener with us on it
Better than to sail on the Mediterranean Sea
Better than to get a fancy Gucci dress for free
Don't think it over
Think it over
Don't think it over
Think it over
Totally up to you, what you do with me
I'm gonna make it up to us and you will see
Don't have to prove it, it is written in your eyes
Tonight you'll be the winner I will be the prize
You know that I'm a witch and I can read your mind boy
I know just what you want,
And I like that
My new resolution is to trust you
My business to love you until you've had it
I'm not gonna miss out on the good stuff
The grass is much greener with us on it
Watch my body get low uh
As low as it can go uh
All the boys will follow uh
I'll show you something you don't know
Watch my body get low uh
As low as it can go uh
All the boys will follow uh
I'll show you something you don't know
'Cause I know what you want
And I like that
My new resolution is to trust you
My business to love you until you've had it
I'm not gonna miss out on the good stuff
The grass is much greener with us on it
My new resolution is to trust you
My business to love you until you've had it
I'm not gonna miss out on the good stuff
The grass is much greener with us on it
In Shakira's song "Good Stuff," the singer invites the object of her affection to share their deepest desires with her so she can fulfill them without conceding anything in return. She is promising an unconditional and selfless love. Shakira goes on to say that she is unlike any girl he has ever met and will make him the winner of their relationship. Shakira is confident in her seductive powers and believes she can read the mind of her love interest, leading to their ultimate happiness together. She declares that she won't miss out on this opportunity to experience all the "good stuff" that a relationship has to offer as long as they are together and that this will make their lives more fulfilling and joyous.
The song communicates the message that love can provide a new perspective that turns the mundane into the extraordinary, and that it is worth surrendering oneself to that feeling. Shakira is banking on this idea of innocent and pure love, where everything is done with pure intentions and nothing is expected in return. The song is about love, trust, and a desire to build a lasting relationship, even when things are uncertain.
