Be Good or Be Gone

I've got something to tell you baby

In the arc of a love affair

Lies the point of no return

First you lose your self respect

Then you hide all the hurt

Well, I've been here thinkin'

Long enough to figure out

That a change has got to come

And it's all up to you

Be good or be gone

Love me or leave me baby, leave me alone

Cause I can be real bad baby, all by myself

Umm, one day you're gonna find yourself, by yourself

You see the choice is so simple now

Cause there really is no choice to make

I not gonna let you treat me badly

No, I won't be makin' that mistake

And it's all up to you

Be good or be gone

Love me or leave me baby, leave me alone

Cause I can be real bad baby, all by myself

Umm, one day you gonna find yourself, by yourself

Make a decision, make up your mind

Give me my proper respect and baby, don't ever forget

That a real love is precious and rare

But you've got to be ready to give, and ready to share

It's all up to you

Be good or be gone

Love me or leave me baby, leave me alone

Cause I can be real bad baby, all by myself

Umm, one day you gonna find yourself, by yourself
