[Chorus]
Baby, if you'll be good
If you'll be good
If you'll be good
Baby, if you'll be good
Listen, huh
I'll give a-you all the love and care
That your heart desire
Yes I will
Listen, baby
[Verse 1]
I've been lied on, stepped on, walked on
And cheated on, baby
I still got you
I've been run down, knocked down, turned around
And slapped down, baby
I still got you
Listen, woman
[Pre-Chorus]
A man will have to be crazy
To leave a good woman like you
'Cause you have got that certain little something
That makes me forget all that I've been through
And honey
[Chorus]
You'll be good
Please be good
Baby, be good
You got to be good
Then I'll give you all the love and care
That your heart desire
Yes I will, eee-yah!
Alright
[Verse 2]
I've been put out, shut out, and told to stay out
And then talked about, but I still got you
I've been beat up, cut up, shot up
And told to shut up, I still got you
Listen again
[Pre-Chorus]
A man will have to be crazy
To leave a good woman like you, uh
'Cause you have got that certain little something
Makes me forget all that I've been through
[Chorus]
And you just got to be good
Baby, be good
Baby, be good
Oh, got to be good
Listen, then I'll give a-you all the love and care
That your heart desire, eee-yah!
[Outro]
Be good, a-huh
Baby, be good
You just got to be good
