Music Review: Good Morning Gorgeous by Mary Blige
Good Morning Gorgeous is the 7th song from Mary J Blige’s 14th studio album titled “Good Morning Gorgeous.”
What is the song Good Morning Gorgeous by Mary J Blige all about?
The artist in the song “Good Morning Gorgeous,” sings about you overcoming your self-hatred, self-negative talks, depression, and low-self esteem by replacing them with self-appreciation and self-positive talks like “Good Morning Gorgeous.”
Mary J Blige sings about believing good things about yourself, believing in your capability (self-confidence), and appreciating yourself exactly the way you are rather than trying to be someone else. Because, in the process of trying to be someone else, you will only become a lesser version of that person, and end up hating yourself for not being able to be exactly like that person.
Good Morning Gorgeous by Mary J Blige Lyrics Translation
Intro
Oh oh! Oh oh oh!
Oh oh oh! Oh oh!
Oh oh oh!
Verse 1
It’s so hard just holding on
And even picking up my phone
It’s hard enough to be
Hard enough to sleep
Hard enough to be alone
I’m just tryna move along (Hmm, hmm)
Sometimes I do and then I don’t
Tell me what I’m doing wrong
Tell myself that it ain’t healthy
Second-guessing it don’t help me
I’m so tired of feeling empty
Dry my eyes, it’s time to fight
It seems like I’m always against me
Seems like this is never-ending
And I refuse to let it end me
Mentally (Hmm, hmm), spiritually (oh), physically
I need my peace, yeah eh eh (Oh)
I need my peace (Oh, oh)
Chorus
I wake up every morning and tell myself
Good morning, gorgeous
Sometimes you gotta look in the mirror and say
Good Morning, gorgeous
No one else could make me feel this way (Yeah)
Good morning, gorgeous
Good morning, gorgeous
Good morning, gorgeous
Verse 2
All the times that I hated myself (Yeah)
All the times that I wanted to be someone else (else)
All the times that I should’ve been gentle with me
All the times that I should’ve been careful with me
Why did I hate myself? (Why did I hate?)
So intensely
Lord, help me
Chorus
I wake up every morning and tell myself
Good morning, gorgeous
Sometimes you gotta look in the mirror and say (Yeah ye eh eh)
Good morning, gorgeous
No one else could make me feel this way
Good morning, gorgeous
Good morning, gorgeous (good morning, good morning, morning)
Good morning, gorgeous (Oh oh oh, oh oh oh)
Verse 3
I ain’t talking ’bout getting no hair and makeup (Oh, no, no)
I’m talking about as soon as I wake up (Ooh, ooh, ah)
I say good morning (Say good morning)
Good morning (Good morning)
Good morning (Oh, yeah)
Good morning, gorgeous (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yeah eh
Oh oh, oh, oh, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah
