Would you like to live in Houston Where the cowboys come to town Or maybe Pensacola Where the sun shines all year 'round Or even New York City Where the city never sleeps I'm offering you the option Before you get in too deep [Chorus] If you can do anything else Baby, be good to yourself You can find a nice place, have a good life Don't worry 'bout me, I'm gonna be alright You can make a new start You can see yourself clear If you can do anything else, do it But if you can't Baby, you can stay right here There's work up in Seattle If you don't mind the rain San Diego to Savannah They'd all be glad you came But life with me would always be A roller coaster ride You won't hurt my feelings Whatever you decide [Chorus] This place might look real good right now But lookin' good don't last But if you choose it, anyhow I'll give you all I have [Chorus] Baby you can stay right here (If you can do anything else, baby be good to yourself) Oh, baby you can stay right here (If you can do anything else, baby be good to yourself) And baby you can stay right here (If you can do anything else, baby be good to yourself)
