You're so good

Ever since I met you

And I'm coming out to get you
Cause I never had it

Got me hotter than a toaster
Cause I need another dose of you, babe
Sweet medicine you, babe

I hadda have it one more time (one time)
You're so good (so good)

Lights low, mama
Get your fellow mellow, relax me
Turn on the stereo
Sunset charmer
Your jelly belly dancing attracts me

Everything between us
Making love, I mean

Goody, goody, goody...
You're so fine, you're fine, baby




Goody, goody, goody...
You're all mine, wow, wow, wow

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of The Eleventh Hour's song "So Good" are pretty straightforward, as they center around the singer's obsession with a woman and his need for her. The song starts with the confession that the woman he desires is so good that he had to come back for more, that he needed her one more time. He continues to profess his fascination and desire for her, and how he's been thinking about her since he met her, wanting to be with her.


The second verse introduces us to the woman's seductive nature and the way it attracts the singer. She's a "jelly belly dancer," and her "charms" attract him. But he won't go away this time; he's staying. The chorus repeats itself, affirming that the woman is so good and so fine that the singer must have her again.


The lyrics are relatively simple, but the song does have an interesting structure to it. It's mostly composed of a repeating chorus, but it has two lengthy verses with plenty of descriptions and details. The chorus also changes slightly each time it appears, with additional "goody goody goody"s and the addition of "honey" to describe how good she is. Overall, the song creates a picture of a man who is infatuated with a woman and powerless to resist her charms.
