About Good for Me

"Good for Me" is a 1992 single by Christian music singer Amy Grant. It was released as the sixth single from the Heart In Motion album, but only the fourth song from the album released as a pop radio single. Its melody, lyrics, and rhythm make it the most comparable song on Heart In Motion to "Baby Baby". It was her fourth consecutive Top Five Adult Contemporary single and Top Ten Hot 100 single in the United States, reaching #4 and #8, respectively, but only matched the lukewarm success of her previous single, "That's What Love Is for" in the UK, peaking at #60. The song is in major and uses the subtonic chord. Grant included Mario Andretti's name in the lyrics, and subsequently was invited to sit in the Andretti family skybox at the 1992 Indianapolis 500.

You like to dance and listen to the music
I like to sing with the band
You like your hands splashing in the ocean
Well I like me feet on the sand
Does anybody have it any better?
Isn't it easy to see just how well we fit together?

When I start to sing the blues
You pull out my dancing shoes
I think you could be so good for me
You get brave when I get shy
Just another reason why
I think you could be so good for me
So good.

You like to drive like Mario Andretti
I like it taking my time
But let me say wherever you are going
You know it suits me just fine
Does anybody have it any better?
Isn't it easy to see just how well we fit together?

When I start to sing the blues
You pull out my dancing shoes
I think you could be so good for me
You get brave when I get shy
Just another reason why
I think you could be so good for me
So good.

Could be so good for me
You could be so good
Could be so good
Could be so good for me.

You get brave when I get shy
Another reason why
You could be so good for
Good for me baby
Good for me baby
When I want to sing the blues
Good for me baby
Oh when I want to sing the blues
Good for me baby
You could be so good
Good for me baby
When I want to sing the blues
Good for me baby.
