Carrie Underwood - Good Girl Lyrics

Good Girl Lyrics

Hey, good girl
With your head in the clouds
I bet you I can tell you
What you're thinkin' about
You'll see a good boy
Gonna give you the world
But he's gonna leave you cryin'
With your heart in the dirt

His lips are dropping honey
But he'll sting you like a bee
So lock up all your loving
Go and throw away the key

Hey good girl
Get out while you can
I know you think you got a good man

Chorus
Whyyyy, why you gotta be so bliiiind?
Won't you open your eeeyes?
It's just a matter of time 'till you find
He's no good, girl
No good for you
You better get to getting on your goodbye shoes and go, go, go...
Better listen to me
He's low, low, low...

Carrie Underwood
Hey, good girl
You got a heart of gold
You want a white wedding
And a hand you can hold
Just like you should, girl
Like every good girl does
Want a fairytale ending, somebody to love

But he's really good at lying girl
Yeah, he'll leave you in the dust
'Cause when he says forever
Well, it don't mean much
Hey good girl
So good for him
Better back away honey
You don't know where he's been

Chorus
Whyyyy, why you gotta be so bliiiind?
Won't you open your eeeyes?
It's just a matter of time 'till you find
He's no good, girl
No good for you
You better get to getting on your goodbye shoes and go, go, go...
Yeah yeah yeah, he's low
Yeah yeah yeah

Bridge
He's no good, girl
Why can't you see?
He'll take your heart and break it
Listen to me, yeah

Chorus - Outro
Whyyyy, why you gotta be so bliiiind?
Won't you open your eeeeyes?
It's just a matter of time 'till you find
He's no good, he's no good

Won't you open up your eeeeyes?
It's just a matter of time 'till you find
He's no good, girl
no good for you
You better get to getting on your goodbye shoes


Carrie Underwood - Good Girl

Good Girl Song Meaning, Biblical Reference and Inspiration

The song "Good Girl" by Carrie Underwood unfolds as an urgent cautionary tale told from one perspective to another, specifically addressing a young woman referred to as a "good girl." The speaker observes this woman seemingly heading towards emotional trouble in a relationship and feels compelled to intervene. The narrative positions the "good girl" as someone with pure intentions, dreaming of traditional love and a stable future, expecting sincerity from her partner.

However, the speaker sees through the façade of the man the "good girl" is involved with. They perceive him as someone who offers charming words, described as "dropping honey," but whose true nature is harmful, like a "sting." He is depicted as skilled at deception, capable of making promises like "forever" without genuine meaning, ultimately prepared to cause hurt and leave the woman emotionally damaged ("heart in the dirt," "leave you in the dust"). The speaker emphasizes his negative character, repeatedly labeling him as "no good" and "low."

The core message delivered through the song is a desperate plea for the "good girl" to recognize the dangerous reality of her situation. The speaker urges her to open her eyes and see the man for who he truly is, arguing that her current perspective is "blind." The advice is clear and direct: she needs to end the relationship immediately ("get out while you can," "back away honey"). The song culminates in the insistent call for her to put on her "goodbye shoes" and leave before the inevitable heartbreak occurs, stressing that it's only a "matter of time" until she realizes the truth.
