She Was Too Good to Me
Lost in Regret: Boz Scaggs' Heartfelt Reflections on a Love That Slipped Away
Lyrics
She was too good to me
Expressing admiration for someone who was exceptionally good to the speaker.
How can I get along now?
Expressing difficulty in coping or moving forward without the person's goodness.
So close she stood to me
Highlighting the closeness and intimacy the speaker shared with the person.
Everything seems all wrong now
Conveying a sense of disarray or discomfort now that the person is no longer present.
She would have brought me the sun
Imagining the positive influence the person could have had on the speaker's life.
Making me smile, that was her fun
Recalling the joy the person brought by making the speaker smile.
If I was mean to her
Exploring the idea that mistreating the person was not in the speaker's nature.
She'd never say go away now
Emphasizing the person's loyalty, as she wouldn't leave even if mistreated.
I was a king to her
Reflecting on the speaker's importance to the person, feeling like a king in her eyes.
Who's gonna light my way now?
Expressing the loss of guidance and support now that the person is gone.
It's only natural I'm so blue
Acknowledging the natural feeling of sadness and melancholy given the circumstances.
She was too good to be true
Suggesting that the person's goodness was so exceptional that it felt unreal.
She was too good to me
Reiterating the sentiment of the person being too good and the difficulty of moving on.
How can I get along now?
Expressing the challenge of navigating life without the positive influence of the person.
So close she stood to me
Repeating the closeness shared with the person and the discomfort in her absence.
Everything seems all wrong now
Reiterating the sense of things being wrong without the person's presence.
She would have brought me the sun
Imagining the brightness and warmth the person could have brought into the speaker's life.
Making me smile, that was her fun
Recalling the joy derived from the person's ability to make the speaker smile.
If I was mean to her
Contemplating the speaker's hypothetical negative behavior towards the person.
She'd never say go away now
Reinforcing the loyalty of the person, emphasizing her resilience despite mistreatment.
I was a king to her
Reiterating the importance of the speaker to the person and the loss of that significance.
Who's gonna light my way now?
Expressing a sense of being lost without the person to guide and illuminate the way.
It's only natural I'm so blue
Acknowledging the inevitability of feeling sad and downcast in the given situation.
She was too good
Stating the overarching theme that the person was exceptionally good to the speaker.
She was too good to me
Reiterating the exceptional goodness of the person and the difficulty in believing it.
She was too good to be true
Suggesting that the person's goodness was so remarkable that it felt unreal or unattainable.
