Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Prisoner of your love
Entangled in your web
Hot whispers in the night
I'm captured by your spell
Captured!
Oh yes, I'm touched by this show of emotion
Should I be fractured by your lack of devotion?
Should I?
Should I?
[Chorus]
Oh, you better be good to me!
That's how it's gotta be now
'Cause I don't have no use for what you loosely call the truth
And you better be good to me
Yeah, you better be good
Come on
Be good to me
[Verse 2]
I think it's oh so right
That we don't need to fight
We stand face to face
And you present your case
Yes, I know you keep telling me that you love me
And I really do wanna believe
But did you think I'd just accept you in blind faith?
Oh sure, babe!
Anything to please you
[Chorus]
But you better be good to me
That's how it's gotta be now
'Cause I don't have the time for your overloaded lines
And you better be good to me
Yeah, you better be good
Come on
Be good to me
Ah!
[Bridge]
Why can't you be
Good to me?
Why can't you be
Good to me?
Why can't you be
Good to me?
Why can't you be
Good to me?
Why can't you be
Good to me?
Why can't you be
Good to me?
[Bridge]
And I really don't see why it's so hard to be
Good to me
And you know
I don't understand what's your plan
That you can't be good to me
What I can't feel I surely cannot see
Why can't you be
Good to me?
And if it's not real, I do not wish to see
Why don't you be
Good to me?
[Chorus]
Why can't you be
Good to me?
Why can't you be
Good to me?
Why can't you be
Good to me?
Why can't you be
Good to me?
Why can't you be
Good to me?
Be good
Why can't you be
Good to me?
Be good to me
[Chorus]
'Cause I don't have no use for what you loosely call the truth
And I don't have the time for your overloaded lines
So you better be good to me
[Chorus]
'Cause I don't have the time for your overloaded lines
And I don't have no use for what you loosely call the truth
And you better be good to me
Be good to me
Be good
Be good to me
[Chorus]
'Cause I don't have no use for what you loosely call the truth
And I don't have the time for your overloaded lines
You better be good to me
Why can't you be
Good to me
Good to me?
Better be
Why can't you be
Good to me
Good to me?
Be good
Why can't you be
Good to me?
Be good to me
Why can't you be
Good to me
Good to me?
Why can't you be
Why can't you be
Good to me?
Good to me?
Why can't you be
Why can't you be
Good to me?
Good to me?
