Better Be Good To Me - Live Lyrics
Tina Turner
Lyrics
A prisoner of your love
Entangled in your web
Hot whispers in the night
I'm captured by your spell (captured)
Oh yes I'm touched by this show of emotion
Should I be fractured by your lack of devotion
Should I, should I?
Oh, you better be good to me
That's how it's gotta be now
'Cause I don't have no use
For what you loosely call the truth
And you better be good to me
Yeah, better be good
Come on, come on, be good to me
I think it's also right
That we don't 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 I'd just accept you in blind faith
Oh sure babe, anything to please you
But you better be good to me
That's how it's gotta be now
'Cause I don't have the time
For your overloaded lines
You better be good to me
Yeah, you better be good
Good to me
Be good to me
And I really don't see
Why it's so hard to be
Good to me
And you know I don't understand
What's your plan
That you can't be
Good to me
What I can't feel I surely cannot see
Why can't you be
Good to me
And if it's not real
I do not wish to see
Why don't you be
Good to me
Why can't you be
Good to me
Why can't you be
Good to me
Why can't you be
Good to me
Why can't you be
Good to me
Why can't you be
Good to me
Be good, be good to me
'Cause I don't have no use
For what you loosely call the truth
And I don't have the time
For your overloaded lines
So you better be good to me
Yeah, you better be good
Better be good to me
Better be good
'Cause I don't have the time
For your overloaded line
And I don't have no use
For what you loosely call the truth
And you better be good to me
Be good to me, be good
Be good to me
'Cause I don't have no use
For what you loosely call the truth
And I don't have the time
For your overloaded lines
You better be good to me
Better be good to me
Be good, be good to me
Why can't you be good to me
