I'm telling you
that it's a waste of time
Trying to be happy,
you're a free man doing time
Looking back, I see your point of view
The only problem is why
can't you see it too?
It would be good if you could
It would be good if you would
It would be good if you would
You would, you would, be good if you could
Be good to me
Hear me out, hear what I've got to say
I think I know you won't listen anyway
Looking back, I see my big mistake
I need more reason for me
to make this big break
You would, be good if you could
You could, be good, be good if you would
Be good, be good if you would
It would, it would be good if you could be good
to me
It would be good if you could, you could,
it would be good on you
Certainly, there is no substitute
This way you oppose me to
somehow so very cute
When you say, this is equality I decline to differ,
I say mem -per -la -ty
It would be good if you could
It would be good if you could
It would be good if you could
It would be good if you could
Be good to me
