So Good

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Drinking a German beer with a Cuban cigar
In the middle of Paris with a Dominican broad
Great head on her shoulders, she probably studied abroad
She transferred to Harvard from King's College in March
She says that I'm her favorite, cause she admires the art
Of Michelangelo with the flow, Picasso with the bars
She's well put together like a piece by Gershwin
Renaissance style, tonight is picture perfect
So smile, and pack your bags real good, baby
'Cause you'll be gone for a while while while while

Girl tell me how you feel, what your fantasy oh
I see us on a beach down in Mexico
You can put your feet up, be my senorita
We ain't gotta rush just take it slow
You'll be in the high life
Soaking up the sunlight
Anything you want is yours
I'll have you living life like you should
You say you never had it so good

La la la la la la, you never had it so good
La la la la la la

Suffering from first class cabin fever
Five hour lay overs from Norway to Egypt
I'm to the point like the pyramids of Giza
Still I'm to the left like the tower out in Pisa
I'm feeling single baby, I could use a feature
Swagger like Caesar, I'll get you a visa
We can go to Italy, and maybe see the coliseum
I'll be Da Vinci if you'll be my Mona Lisa
Now smile, and pack your bags real good, baby
'Cause you'll be gone for a while

Girl tell me how you feel, what your fantasy oh
I see us on a beach down in Mexico
You can put your feet up, be my senorita
We ain't gotta rush just take it slow
You'll be in the high life
Soaking up the sunlight
Anything you want is yours
I'll have you living life like you should
You say you never had it so good

La la la la la la, you never had it so good
La la la la la la, you never had it so good

Well I been feeling singular, how about let's make it plural
Spin the globe, whatever it lands that's where we'll go
We'll hit up Europe, yep, and spend some Euros
And maybe visit Berlin, the wall's with the murals
This is your month baby, sign of the Virgo
Private reservations, glasses full of Merlot
A rose, a burgundy, traveling like turbo
Brush up on your Español, we're Barcelona bound
Smile, and pack your bags real good, baby
'Cause you'll be gone for a while

Girl tell me how you feel, what your fantasy oh
I see us on a beach down in Mexico
You can put your feet up, be my senorita
We ain't gotta rush just take it slow
You'll be in the high life
Soaking up the sunlight
Anything you want is yours
I'll have you living life like you should
You say you never had it so good

La la la la la la, you never had it so good
La la la la la la, you never had it so good




La la la la la la, you never had it so good
La la la la la la, you never had it so good
