Didn't want to do this to you
Didn’t want to be the one to hurt you like this
After all, we've been through
It's time we both admit it
Love has reached its limit
There’s nothing left to say between me and you
No use telling me how much you've changed
No matter how you try to make it right
It'll never be the same
I tried to tell you, you just wouldn't listen
Tried to show you what was missing
Now there's nothing left to say, it didn't have to be this way
[Dorothy with background singers]
Should have been good to me
Should have been there when I wanted you, needed you here by my side
[Dorothy]
All I needed was a little affection
All you gave me was rejection
Now it's time to say goodbye
And if you wonder why
You should have been good
Oh, to me, baby
Didn't want to say this to you
Didn’t want to be the one to end it like this
But I couldn’t make you see
Never felt appreciated
Gave you every chance, I've waited
You never really knew what you had in me
I tried to warn you, gave you a million signs
But you were just to busy for me
You never took the time
I tried to tell you, you just wouldn’t listen
Tried to show you what was missing
Now there's nothing left to say, it didn't have to be this way
[Dorothy with background singers]
Should have been good to me
Should have spent more time holding me
Touching me once in a while
[Dorothy]
You were so wrapped up in yourself
You couldn't feel the pain that I felt
Now you realize what you’ve lost
Boy, it's all your fault
You should have been good
Oh, to me, baby
You should have been good to me
You were so wrapped up in yourself
You couldn't hear me cry for help
Now you realize what you've lost
Boy, it's all your fault
You should have been
[Dorothy with background singers]
Good Oh, to me

Should have been good to me

All I needed was a little affection
All you gave me was rejection
Now it's time to say goodbye
And if you wonder why
[Background singers]
Should have been good to me
Should have spent more time holding me, touching me once in a while
Dorothy: Should have spent more time, holding me touching me, once in a while
You were so wrapped up in yourself
You couldn't feel the pain that I felt
Now you realize what you've lost
Boy, it's all your fault
[Dorothy with background singers]
Should have been good to me
Dorothy: Ohh

Should have been there when I wanted you, needed you here by my side

Should have spent more time holding me, touching me once in a while
