Why don't you let me be good to you 
Why don't you let me be good to you

Every time I see you
You look so fine
I wonder what kind of things are going on your mind

Why can't you
Why can't we get together sometime
So I can be good to you
I want to be good to you

I can see it in your eyes
You've been hurt real bad
You've given up on love
You're living in the past

Why don't you
Give me a chance, to ease your mind
So I can be good to you
I want to be good to you

'Cause I know what you want
Yes and I know what you need
You need the same things I do
'Cause I've been hurt many times just like you
Let me be good to you, let me be good to you

While I'm being good to you baby
I want you to be good to me
Let me take care of your problems
I just wanna be good to you

Come let me hold you, let's talk things out
Please let me help you, erase all of your doubts

Why don't you,
Why don't we get together tonight
So I can be good to you
I want to be good to you

'Cause I know what you want
Yes, and I know what you need, you need the same things I do
'Cause I've been hurt many times just like you

I want to be good to you, let me be good to you
While I'm being good to you baby
I want you to be good to me
We can help each other baby
Just let me be good to you

We've got a long way to go
Why don't you let me be good to you
Let's always stay together
A-let me be good to you. Well

You know I was thinking today
You want to do something different tonight
Why don't you come over to my place
Let me put on some dinner for us
Get us a couple of bottles of wine
Then I can just rub your shoulders and ease 
all your tensions and your nerves from the day
As a matter of fact I'll even take your shoes off 
and rub your feet 'cause I know you've been 
on them all day and you'rel tired and their hot

So listen tell you what you do
After you get home
You know, you get yourself cooled down
Take a nice warm bath, get all relaxed and refreshed
And come on over and let me… …ease the evening for you

Let me be good to you, let me be good to you

After we have dinner maybe we can go catch a late show 
or maybe we can just stay at the place
And watch a late-night TV movie…
Yeah

Let me be good to you
Let me be good to you, I want you to be good to me

Let me be good, good, good
Let me be good to you
Well
