I'll Be Good

(album: Street Called Desire - 1985)

I'll be good, good, good, good
I'll be good, good, good, good

Flash, we meet
Passing in the streets
Words unspoken
Silence unbroken, hey

Just by chance
We fell into romance
The cry of success
Left no room to guess

Oh, no (Oh, no)
Love has knocked us down and scored
We've been twice around the block before
Know the changes I put you through baby
My promise is to you

I'll be good
Ooh, ooh (Ooh, ooh)
Better than before
You know I'll love you more

I'll be good
Ooh, ooh (Ooh, ooh)
Better than before
You know I'll love you more

I fell in love so quick
I knew that this was it
So much emotion
Made so much devotion

And when we talk
We're never miles apart
Your telephone line
Is tied right to my heart

(Love me, baby)
Your love has knocked me down and scored
(Knock me out, baby)
You may hide and close your door
(Baby, baby)
Open up, I swear it's true
(What you gonna do)

I'll be good {I just wanna be good}
To you (How good)
(Thought you wanna be good to me, baby)
Better than before (Mmm...)
You know I'll love you more

I'll be good
Will you be good, boy
{So good}, so good {Hey}
(Thought you wanna be good to me, baby)
Better than before
You know I'll love you more

I'll be good
When we talk
We're never miles apart
(Thought you wanna be good to me, baby)
Telephone line (Telephone line)
Tied straight to my heart

I fell in love so quick
I thought my mind was playing tricks
(Thought you wanna be good to me, baby)
One twist of fate
Made it something so great

Let me show you how to live
Stop going from town to town
Don't be afraid to give
Time to settle down

When I'm good I'm bad
And when I'm bad I'm better
When I'm at my best
There's no room to guess

I'll be good
(Thought you wanna be good to me, baby)
Ooh, ooh, ooh
(Thought you wanna be good to me, baby)
Better than before
You know I'll love you more
(Thought you wanna be good to me, baby)

I'll be good
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Mmm... ooh
(Thought you wanna be good to me, baby)

Better than before
Know I'll love you more
I'll be good
Better than before
You know I'll love you more

I'll be good, good, good, good
I'll be good, good, good, good
I'll be good, good, good, good
I'll be good, good, good, good
I'll be good, good, good, good
(Thought you wanna be good to me, baby)
I'll be good, good, good, good
(Thought you wanna be good to me, baby)

Let me show you how to live
Stop going from town to town
Don't be afraid to give
Time to settle down
