  • Chappell Roan's GOOD LUCK, BABE! and her struggle in quantum physics and formal nomenclature
    May 8 2025

    Play along at home with the lyrics:

    [Verse 1]

    It’s fine, it's cool

    You can say that we are nothing but you know the truth

    And guess i'm the fool

    With her arms out like an angel through the car sunroof


    [Pre-Chorus]

    I don't wanna call it off

    But you don't wanna call it love

    You just wanna love someone who calls you baby


    [Chorus]

    You can kiss a hundred boys in bars

    Shoot another shot, try to stop the feeling

    You can say it's just the way you are

    Make a new excuse another stupid reason

    Good luck, babe! Well good luck, babe!

    You’d have to stop the world just to stop the feeling

    Good luck, babe! Well good luck, babe!

    You’d have to stop the world just to stop the feeling

    [Verse 2]

    I’m cliche

    Who cares

    It's a sexually explicit kind of love affair

    And i cry, it's not fair

    I just need a little lovin’ i just need a little air


    [Pre-Chorus]

    Think im gonna call it off

    Even if you call it love

    I just wanna love someone who calls me baby


    [Chorus]

    You can kiss a hundred boys in bars

    Shoot another shot, try to stop the feeling

    You can say it's just the way you are

    Make a new excuse another stupid reason

    Good luck, babe! Well good luck, babe!

    You’d have to stop the world just to stop the feeling

    Good luck, babe! Well good luck, babe!

    You’d have to stop the world just to stop the feeling

    [Bridge]

    And when you wake up next to him in the middle of the night

    With your head in your hands you’re nothing more than his wife

    And when you think about me all of those years ago

    You're standing face to face with ""i told you so""

    You know I hate to say , i told you so

    You know i hate to say it but, i told you so

    Well i told you so


    [Chorus]

    You can kiss a hundred boys in bars

    Shoot another shot, try to stop the feeling

    You can say it's just the way you are

    Make a new excuse another stupid reason

    Good luck, babe! Well good luck, babe!

    You’d have to stop the world just to stop the feeling

    Good luck, babe! Well good luck, babe!

    [Outro]

    You’d have to stop the world just to stop the feeling

    You’d have to stop the world just to stop the feeling

    You’d have to stop the world just to stop the feeling

    You’d have to stop the world just to stop the feeling

These guys are serious thinkers & I am one of them

You can't look too deeply to find the elusive truths behind the lyrics of smooooth pop songs. It's a series of harsh, perhaps unfair investigations and critiques of over-played pop.
