Why Can't You Be Good

Why can't you behave? Why can't you be good?

You don't even try to do the things you should.

What is the reason, I'd like to know,

Why you can't be good.

You go into the bedroom,

You say you got to powder your nose

But the powder is cocaine,

I see traces on your clothes.

What is the reason, I'd like to know,

Why you can't be good.

Take another look inside your dreams tonight when you go

To sleep

Try and find the reason why you've lost your way, like

Some little sheep.

You say that you love me

And that your heart is true

But you got so many other loves

Oh what am I supposed to do?

What is the reason, I'd like to know,

What is the reason, I'd like to know,

What is the reason, I'd like to know,

Why you can't be good.
