A prisoner of your love

Entangled in your web

Hot whispers in the night

Im captured by your spell

Oh yes Im touched by this show of emotion

Should I be fractured by your lack of devotion

Should I, should I?

 

You better be good to me

Thats how its gotta be now

Cause I dont have no use

For what you losely call the truth

You better be good to me

 

I think its also right

That we dont need to fight

We stand face to face

And you present your case

And I know you keep telling me that you love me

And I really do wanna believe

But did you think Id just accept you in blind faith

Oh sure babe, anything to please you

 

You better be good to me

Thats how its gotta be now

Cause I dont have the time

For your over loaded lines

You better be good to me

 

And I really dont see why its so hard to be good to me

And I dont understand whats your plan that you cant be good to me

What I cant feel I surely cannot see, why cant you be good to me

And if its not real I do not wish to see, why cant you be good to me

Songwriters: HOLLY KNIGHT, MICHAEL DONALD CHAPMAN, NICHOLAS BARRY CHINN
