You Must Be Good For Something
Situation hollow
Loving chained to dollars
I cant live with your totalitarian
Standards
Sitting in the back seat
Beauty on a back street
Cleaning in a k-mart dress, now youre
Designed by dior
Oh my... you must be good for something
Youre much to good for me
Porn imagination
Boobs on every station
You think its free cause they show it
On the cable t.v.
Your favorite kind of reading is a
Lyric sheet
The record that you play, you play
Because its number one
Oh my... you must be good for something
Youre much to good for me
But theres nothing wrong with being
The majority(? )
You act the only way thats even logical
Im out of time, I know that I could
Never be like you
You must be good for something
I know youre good for something

Good To Be Back
Written by pam reswick/steve werfel
Background vocals: natalie cole
Let me look at you, just look at you
Youre a sight for sore eyes, yes you are
If you knew how many nights I spent holding you so tight
Then Id wake up and were still apart
Now youre really near and Im really here
And I can wrap my arms around you, yes I can
This is just like I remember, no I think its even better
Maybe even more than I can stand
Baby, its good to be back, so good to be back
Baby, its good to be back in your arms again
Baby, its good to be back, so good to be back
Honey, its good to be back with you, oh yeah
Well its not the first time weve been apart
But as far as Im concerned its the last
I dont care what we have to do to stay together from now on
But those days away from you are past
cause when I go through the day and I havent seen your face
Seems like nothing that I do feels right
Youre the one I wanna see when I wake up every day
Youre the one I wanna kiss goodnight
Baby, its good to be back, so good to be back
Baby, its good to be back in your arms again (ooh)
Baby, its good to be back, so good to be back
Honey, its good to be back with you
So good, so good, so good, so good, so good with you, baby
So good with you
Why dont you start me up with just one kiss
Thats just one of the things Ive missed
You better kiss me once again til it finally settles in
Well, I think I could get used to this
Baby, its good to be back, so good, so good to be back, real good
Baby, its good to be back in your arms again, I just got to say it
Good to be back, so good to be back
Honey, its good to be back with you
Baby, its good to be back, feels mighty good to be back
Baby, its good to be back with you
Baby, its good to be back, so good, so good to be back
Aw honey, honey its good to be back with you
And its so good to be back, aw sing it girls
Yeah, good to be back, I like the way you sang
Baby, its good to be back in youre arms again
Sang, sang, sang, sang
And its so good to be back...

Youre No Good
(clint ballard, jr.)
Feelin better
Now that were through
Feelin better
cause Im over you
I learned my lesson
It left a scar
But now I see
How you really are
Chorus:
Youre no good, youre no good
Youre no good...baby youre no good
Im gonna say it again
Youre no good, youre no good
Youre no good...baby youre no good
Broke a heart
Gentle and true
Left a man
Over someone like you
Ill beg his forgiveness
On bended knee
But I wouldnt blame him
If he said to me
Repeat chorus
Im tellin you now baby
That Im going my way
Forget about you baby

Youre Kind
Words & music by paul simon
Youre kind
Youre so kind
You rescued me when I was blind
And you put me on your pillow
When I was on the wall
Youre kind, so kind, so kind
And youre good
Youre so good
You introduced me to your neighborhood
Seems like I aint never had
So many friends before
Thats because youre good
Youre so good
Why you dont treat me like
The other humans do
Is just a mystery to me
It gets me agitated when I think that
Youre gonna love me now indefinitely
So goodbye, goodbye
Im gonna leave you now
And heres the reason why
I like to sleep with the window open
And you keep the window closed
So goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

All Of The Good Ones Are Taken
(ian hunter)
Girl-things aint been goin too good for me
Girl-Im living in the middle of a mystery
Youre the only one that can turn me on
n now that youre gone I said
Girl-Im livin in the middle of your memory
Girl-youre still the figure in my favorite fantasy
I know you know
Thats the way it goes
And still my love grows-i said
All o the good, all o the good ones are taken
All o the good, all o the good ones are taken
Im hangin around with my head in the air
Watchin the lovers go by
I had a lover-but she never cared
All you could say was goodbye
Maybe I was mistaken
Maybe I got it wrong
But all of the good ones are taken from now on
n girl-Im livin in the middle of a broken dream
I said girl-all this fallin in love aint like it seems
Out in the rain-cant you feel my pain
Again n again n again n again n again
All of the good, all o the good ones are taken
Maybe I was mistaken-maybe I got it wrong
But all of the good ones are taken in my song

Whenever Youre Ready
Little one done run out of money now
No, it doesnt seem to have a home
Left to fend for yourself in the wilderness
Out there living life all alone
Whenever youre ready
You could see a dream come true
Whenever youre ready
Im just saying its up to you
Whenever youre ready
Things could start looking up
Whenever youre ready
Take a big sip from the loving cup
Making that face carved out of stone
Coping real hard with a losing hand
Sound of a dog choking on a chicken bone
It just cant be the way that you had things planned, my friend
Whenever youre ready, yeah yeah
Things could start to happen real fast
Whenever youre ready, my good friend
Sure we could get one built to last
Whenever youre ready
Oh we could get it done today
Whenever youre ready
Sure enough you could come out and play
Cold, hot, ready or not
Whatever youve got
What have you got to lose, my good friend?
Whenever youre ready
Whenever youre ready, my good friend

Just Dont Like This
Look across the room
I see some guy
Steaming over me
Hes smirking sleazy
Probably be older than daddy
Since you smiled
My expression has changed
Come any closer
Things will be constrained
I walk pass looking good
Doesnt give you the right
To put that hand where you think that you should
Not this girl, not this world
Just step off, had enough
Youre no good, Im no fool
I just dont need this
Not this girl, not this world
Just step off, had enough
Youre no good, Im no fool
I just dont need this
I dont want any man to tell me what to do
Anyone to say to me my feelings are not true
For your information
I maintain my station
Feel so incredible
Dont need no man to tell me where yo go
Cos this is all you know
Not this girl, not this world
Just step off, had enough
Youre no good, Im no fool
I just dont need this
Not this girl, not this world
Just step off, had enough
Youre no good, Im no fool
I just dont need this
Ill go wherever I know that you wont go
I dont have to tango with your ego
And its just because I said so
They way Im feeling now is mental
The problem first starts in your dentail
I cant believe they let you in dis place
But have they seen the look on your face
Not this girl, not this world
Just step off, had enough
Youre no good, Im no fool
I just dont need this
Not this girl, not this world
Just step off, had enough
Youre no good, Im no fool

Pretending
I was right the first time
But I outguessed myself
You sympathized so sweetly
When you sent me to hell
What have I got to complain for
Had to throw myself overboard
Like to see that my dues are paid
Its just the way I was made
And when I cry, I was burning inside
Youre out there pretending
And though I lie, I had nothing to hide
Youre the one whos pretending
I live in anticipation
Things that never occurred
Turned my back to the loving ones
On the strength of your word
Whats the answer Im looking for
You mix your meanings with metaphors
Glass bricks and a ten foot wall
You really dont care at all
And when I came to relieve all the pain
You were somewhere pretending
And Im still here, and its still just as clear
That youre only pretending
I believe in believing
And I hope that theres still hope for me
cause I need to be needing
And youre free to be free as you please
But Im not the kind
Who can live with life
And I never could
cause Im just no good at pretending
Whats the truth after all this time
Is it your perception or is it mine
Sometimes youre better off alone
You cant get blood from a stone
And while you cry, Ill be laughing inside
cause I know youre pretending
Look me straight in the eye
When I tell you good bye
cause I wont be pretending
You could beg me and fall down on your knees
But youd just be pretending
Maybe someday youll have something to say
And you wont be pretending

Go on move in it, go on do your bit
Small, big take your pick
Doesnt have to be legit

Dont need no skin tights in my wardrobe today
Fold them all up and put them all away
Wont be no misfit in my household today
Pick them all out and send them on their way
Do what youre doing, say what youre saying
Go where youre going, think what youre thinking
Sounds good to me
Dont know what you saw, but you know its against the law
And you know that you want some more
Ive heard it all before
Gonna buy an airforce base
Gonna wipe out your race
Get stoned in a different place
Dont you know I got better taste

Go where youre going, think what youre thinking

Never Any Good
I was never any good at loving you
I was never any good at coming
Through for you
Youre going to feel much better
When you cut me loose forever
I was never any good
Never any good
I was never any good at loving you
I was dying when we met
I bet my life on you
But you called me and I folded
Like you knew Id do
You called my ace, my king, my bluff
Okay, you win, enoughs enough
I was never any good
Never any good
I was never any good at loving you
I was pretty good at taking out
The garbage
Pretty good at holding up the wall
Dealing with the fire and the earthquake
But that dont count
That dont count
That dont count for nothing much at all
I was never any good at loving you
I was just a tourist in your bed looking
At the view
But I cant forget where my lips
Have been
Those holy hills, that deep ravine
I was never any good
Never any good
I was never any good at loving you
I was pretty good at taking out the garbage
Pretty good at holding up the wall
Im sorry for my crimes against
The moonlight
I didnt think
I didnt think
I didnt think the moon would mind at all
I was never any good at loving you
At doing what a woman really wants
A man to do
Youre going to feel much better
When you cut me loose forever

Never any good

Leavin me here alone, youre stayin all night.
Youre good to me; do something sweet.
Tonight, youre back out on the street.
Lovin you the way I do is killin me.
I dont blame you for havin fun, as long as Im your only one.
So go on out, have a time, have a good time.

What Good Is I Love You

You say you love me
More than you could ever love her, ah, ha, ha
But circumstance has made you stay by her side
Youll never leave her
God knows youve tried
But I understand
A man aint nothing but a man
Oh, why do I need you when we cant be together?
What good is I want you, when youre passing me by?
Oh, I cant keep on saying I love you forever
What good is I love you, when youre saying goodbye? , ahh, baby, yeah
No-one has ever made me so very happy
When were together, baby
Everything is all right
Here on my pillow
Alone at night
Cant you see my heart keeps on crying?
Somethings telling me youre lying
Why do I need you when we cant be together?
What good is I want you, when youre passing me by?
Oh, I cant keep on saying I love you forever
What good is I love you, when youre saying goodbye? , yeah, mmm, why?
Said Im thinking about you now baby, why, ooh, why should i?
