Good at It
Embracing the Allure of Imperfection with Shelby Lee Lowe's 'Good at It'
Lyrics
Girl I’m sure you probably heard about my reputation
Addressing a potential awareness of his reputation, suggesting a troubled past.
I came out wild a problem child
Describing a wild and problematic childhood, acknowledging his rebellious nature.
Born beneath your station
Highlighting a social class difference, feeling born below the other person's station.
Now I can’t deny you’d be right to walk away
Admitting that it would be justified for the person to leave due to his past.
If you only knew you what you be miss girl I know that you’d stay
Expressing confidence that if she knew him better, she would choose to stay.
I’m no good but I’m good at it
Declaring self-awareness of his flaws but claiming proficiency in certain areas.
Honey I’ve had lots of practice
Asserting extensive experience in being bad and suggesting he's skilled at it.
Being bad I can prove it too
Offering to prove his proficiency in being bad.
Just let me get my hands on you
Expressing a desire to physically connect with the person.
Love you touch you hold you squeeze you
List of physical actions, emphasizing intimacy.
Oh the things that I can teach you
Suggesting he has lessons or experiences to share with the person.
Let me be your next bad habit
Proposing to become a habit for the person, acknowledging his nature.
I’m no good but I’m good at it
Reiterating self-awareness, emphasizing his proficiency in being bad.
Girl you deserve a fine man and right now you might not see one
Acknowledging the person deserves a better man but expressing a desire to be that man.
I may be crazy but I think I just might just like to be one
Admitting to being crazy but stating a potential preference for change.
If I knew a girl like you is who I’s coming home to
Expressing a desire to be with someone like the person if change occurs.
Girl you’d never let me go if you’d just let me hold you
Believing the person would stay if they allowed a deeper connection.
I’m no good but I’m good at it
Repeating the acknowledgment of flaws but asserting proficiency in certain areas.
Honey I’ve had lots of practice
Reiterating extensive experience in being bad and claiming skill.
Being bad I can prove it too
Reaffirming the willingness to prove proficiency in being bad.
Just let me get my hands on you
Restating the desire for physical connection.
Love you touch you hold you squeeze you
Repeating physical actions, emphasizing intimacy.
Oh the things that I can teach you
Reiterating the availability of experiences or lessons.
Let me be your next bad habit
Renewing the proposal to become a habit for the person.
I’m no good but I’m good at it
Reaffirming self-awareness, emphasizing proficiency in being bad.
I’m no good but I’m good at it
Repeating the declaration of self-awareness and proficiency in being bad.
Honey I’ve had lots of practice
Reiterating extensive experience in being bad and claiming skill.
Being bad I can prove it too
Reaffirming the willingness to prove proficiency in being bad.
Just let me get my hands on you
Restating the desire for physical connection.
Love you touch you hold you squeeze you
Repeating physical actions, emphasizing intimacy.
Oh the things that I can teach you
Reiterating the availability of experiences or lessons.
Let me be your next bad habit
Renewing the proposal to become a habit for the person.
I’m no good but I’m good at it
Reaffirming self-awareness, emphasizing proficiency in being bad.
Try it out lets see what happens
Encouraging the person to try and see what happens despite his acknowledged flaws.
I’m no good but I’m good at it
Repeating the declaration of self-awareness and proficiency in being bad.
Cause I'm good at it
Stating confidence in his proficiency in being bad.
