Good Girl Lyrics – Reneé Rapp

Good Girl Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
She’s saying that whenever they’re alone, things get out of hand quickly, like they can’t help themselves. The chemistry is intense, and being around each other always leads to impulsive choices. She tried to take a break to get her life back on track, but it’s hard when this person keeps pulling her back in.

[Pre-Chorus]
She was trying to live a clean, peaceful life with healthy choices—until this person walked back into it.

[Chorus]
She was doing everything right—acting responsibly, planning to go home early, maybe have one drink and leave like an adult. But the second this person appeared, her whole plan fell apart. She ended up staying out way too late, dancing until sunrise, and throwing caution out the window. She wasn’t supposed to get pulled into anything, but their presence completely changed the course of her night.

[Verse 2]
This person starts flirting by showing off a lip tattoo, getting close and playful. She finds herself caught off guard, blushing and feeling a mix of emotions. She stumbles into them—both literally and emotionally—and they act like it was a coincidence, even though it clearly wasn’t.

[Pre-Chorus]
She knows she probably shouldn’t give in, but in the moment, she throws caution aside and lets it happen anyway.

[Chorus]
Once again, she was doing fine, staying on the straight and narrow. Her plan was to leave early, stay in control, and not fall into temptation. But when this person arrived, she couldn’t resist. The night spiraled into unexpected fun and reckless behavior, completely flipping the script on what she had intended.

[Post-Chorus]
She’s seen as the “good girl,” but now she’s drunk and out of control. People are worried about her, and she knows she might let down those who expect her to always be perfect. Still, there’s power in breaking free, even if it looks messy.

[Chorus]
She repeats how she really meant to be responsible—just have one drink, leave early, and go home alone. But as soon as this person entered the picture, her willpower faded. The night took a wild turn, full of dancing and impulsive decisions, completely the opposite of what she had planned.

[Post-Chorus]
She’s lost in the moment, drunk and clearly not okay, and there’s concern from others. She knows she might upset her father or break the image of the perfect girl. But there’s something bold and freeing about letting go and being wild—it almost feels like her hidden strength.
