Good to You
Navigating Love's Imperfections: Good to You by Kate Teague
Lyrics
You compliment my dress before we walk into the night
You appreciate my attire as we enter the evening
In the back of our heads we hope it all will turn out right
We harbor the hope that everything will turn out well
And I watch her laugh at him at the bar
I observe her laughing at him in the bar
As he tells a joke while stroking her arm
He tells a joke, caressing her arm
I want to be good to you
I aspire to treat you well
I want to be good to you
Continued expression of the desire to be good to you
The night grows older and everyone begins to groove
The night progresses, and everyone starts to dance
We tried to take a spin but stalled because we lacked the moves
We attempt to join in but face challenges due to our lack of skill
So we watched the others on the dance floor
We observe others on the dance floor holding their partners closely
Hold their lovers like they were behind doors
They embrace each other as if they are behind closed doors
I want to be good to you
Reiteration of the desire to be good to you
I want to be good to you
Reaffirmation of the intention to treat you well
You leave before the rest do, once again I fired the shot
You leave early again, and I feel like I missed an opportunity
I give up too easily
Expressing a tendency to give up easily
Please be patient with me, I am lost
Plea for patience, acknowledging being lost
but I want
Despite challenges, the desire to
to be good to you
Continue expressing the aspiration to be good to you
I want to be good to you
Reiteration of the intention to treat you well
I know I'm full of mistakes
Acknowledgment of personal flaws and mistakes
And you hold on anyway
Recognition that you hold on despite imperfections
