I don't been where you've been
Or who you've been with
I'm just asking you to be good to me
(Won't you be good to me?)
I don't care about how long
And I know you've been gone
I'm just asking you to be good to me

Have you some fun at the party
Have yourself one heck of a ball
Just don't call her name at my party, mmm
'Cause this one is for us
And that's all

I don't been where you've been
Or who you've been with
I'm just asking you to be good to me
(Won't you be good to me?)
I don't care about how long
And I know you've been gone
I'm just asking you to be good to me

(Won't you be good)
Be good to me
(Won't you be good to me?)
Be good to me, yeah
(Won't you be good?)
Baby, won't you be good
(Won't you be good to me?)

Don't waste your time to me explaining
My understanding's too good
I'll know it's your love that I'm gaining, yeah
When you get here
And act just like I should

I don't been where you've been
Or who you've been with
I'm just asking you to be good to me
(Won't you be good to me?)
And I don't care about how long
And I know you've been gone
I'm just asking you to be good to me

Won't you be good?
Won't you be good to me?
(Won't you be good?)
(Won't you be good to me?)

(Won't you be good?)
Won't you be good to me?
(Won't you be good to me?)
No matter how long
(Won't you be good?)
Boy, be good to me

(Won't you be good to me?)
(Won't you be good?)
(Won't you be good to me?)
(Won't you be good?)
(Won't you be good to me?)

(Won't you be good?)
Be good to me
(Won't you be good to me?)
Whoa-whoa-whoa, yeah
(Won't you be good?)

Won't you be good to me?
(Won't you be good to me?)
Have some fun
(Won't you be good?)
At the party
(Won't you be good to me?)
