The Goodwill and Hook N Sling Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She said "Hello, Mister
Pleased to meet you"
I wanna hold her
I wanna kiss her

Gonna take her for a ride on a big jet plane
Gonna take her for a ride on a big jet plane
Hey, Hey

Hey, Hey

Can I take you, take you higher?

She said "Hello, Mister
Pleased to meet you"
I wanna hold her
I wanna kiss her

She smelled of daisy
She smelled of daisy
She drive me crazy
She drive me crazy

Gonna take her for a ride on a big jet plane
Gonna take her for a ride on a big jet plane
Hey, Hey

Can I take you, take you higher? (hey, hey, hey, hey)
Can I take you, take you higher? (hey, hey, hey, hey)




Can I take you, take you higher? (hey, hey, hey, hey)
Can I take you, take you higher? (hey, hey, hey, hey)

Overall Meaning

In the lyrics of The Goodwill and Hook N Sling's song "Take You Higher," the singer introduces himself to a woman and expresses his desire to be with her intimately. He describes her scent as smelling like daisies, driving him crazy. He then insists that he wants to take her for a ride on a big jet plane, repeating the phrase multiple times throughout the song. The chorus is a repetition of the singer asking whether he can take the woman higher, ending with a continuous repetition of the phrase "hey, hey."


The lyrics are open to interpretation, but one possible read is that the singer is trying to woo a woman by emphasizing all the exciting, luxurious experiences he can provide her. The repeated line of "take you for a ride on a big jet plane" might suggest to the woman that he can take her to far-off, exotic locations that they can experience together. The chorus with its repeated insistence on taking her higher might suggest a sexual connotation, with the singer wanting to bring the woman to a higher emotional or physical plane. Whatever the interpretation, the repeated use of the phrase and the repetition of "hey, hey" in the chorus add to the song's hypnotic, danceable nature.

This song especially the hook brings me certain nostalgia I’m not sure what exactly but it’s bursts of fireworks, falling leaves 🍁 in October, jazz shoes, turns, youthfulness, laughter and the cool spring breeze, the unknown, thrills of uncertainties! Love letters and sweet nothings... endless love 💗

Basically it brought back dance memories from high school 2011 and fast forward 3 years my former soul mate.....


This one song with few lyrics is a shot in the heart....I feel everything all over again I don’t know if I should cry or smile or both....


Life goes on but in this song time becomes still....

Words "take you higher" just randomly pops up into my head this morning. I don't know why, but I'm grateful.
