Lyrics

(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

You're a bad little girl, it's true

But I'm not gonna walk out on you

They say you're a good for nothing girl

But I'll stand up and tell the world

You're good for me, oh yes you are

You're good for me

Oh, like honey is good for the bee

You're good for me

You do two wrongs for every right

You put salt in my coffee just for spite

You're no good for yourself

You're no good for nobody else

But you're good for me

Oh, you're good for me

Oh, sugar dumpling, can't you see

You're good for me

Let me tell you 'bout it

(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

(Yeah, yeah, woah, oh-oh, ooh)

I was down on my sickbed

It was the end for me, everyone said

Doctor Jones did all he could

Only your love did me some good

You're good for me, oh yes you are

You're good for me

Oh, like the sugar is good for the tea

You're good for me

That's all I'm living for is you, girl

(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

(Yeah, yeah)

You make me wanna blow sometimes

Oh, let me tell you 'bout it baby

One more time now

(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Everybody, and I want everybody

And I want everybody to help 'em all one more time

(Yeah, yeah)

Oh baby, I need my baby

(Yeah, oh yeah)
