Groovy
Small Faces Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now I can tell you how I feel
A broken heart is this for real
There's still so much for me to do
And to know
And to be and to feel

If you think you're groovy
You don't even move me
There's no denying
If you dare to be true

In my dreams I dreamt for two
My dreams were real but where were you
And now my dreams have all been changed
Rearranged there's room for two
But not for you

If you think you're groovy
You don't even move me
There's no denying
If you dare to be true

Oh you made me feel so real
Baby how I used to feel
Now I know what it's all about
Honey I found out (I found out) I found out
(I found out) I found out and i
Wanted to tell you

If you think you're groovy
You don't even move me
There's no denying
If you dare to be true

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Small Faces' song "Groovy" convey a sense of heartbreak and disillusionment with a past lover. The singer expresses frustration with the other person's attempts to impress them, suggesting that they are not truly genuine or authentic. The opening lines set the tone for the song, with the singer acknowledging their broken heart and their desire to move forward and grow. However, the second stanza reveals that the singer had once held dreams and hopes for a future with their partner, only to have those dreams shattered by the other person's lack of commitment or sincerity.


The chorus of the song serves as a warning to anyone who might try to impress the singer with their "groovy" attitude or lifestyle. The singer declares that such superficiality will not work on them and that only honesty and truthfulness will win their heart. The final verse of the song is a reflection on the past and an acknowledgement that the singer has learned from their experiences.


Overall, "Groovy" is a song that speaks to the universal human experience of heartbreak and disillusionment, while also celebrating the importance of authenticity and genuine emotional connections in relationships.
