From the recording This Is the night
Lyrics
GOOD IN ME BAD
YOU WERE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN I’D EVER SEEN…
YOU TELL ME YOU’RE NO LADY AND YOU’RE GONNA SHOW ME WHAT YOU MEAN…
YOU’RE LIKE A MOVIE IN MY BACK SEAT WITH THE WIND IN YOU’RE HAIR…
ARMS AROUND MY SHOULDERS, I’D TAKE YOU ANYWHERE…
WHEN YOU WALKED ON THE STAGE, I KNEW YOU’D BEEN THERE BEFORE,
AND YOU KNEW ALL THE MOVES TO GET WHAT YOU’RE LOOKING FOR…
AND I KNOW IT MIGHT BE, THE BEST TIME I EVER HAD,
BUT I KNOW ENOUGH TO KNOW…
YOU’D TURN THE GOOD IN ME BAD……TURN THE GOOD IN ME BAD…
IN HER FAVORITE BURLESQUE GOWN, SHE’D LAUGH AND KISS THE AIR,
SOMETHING SOFT, SOMETHING WARM, SOMETHING SENSUAL TO WEAR,
SHE’D DANCE FOR YOU AND ASK YOU IF YOU WANTED TO PLAY….
YOU KNOW YOU SHOULDN’T… BUT YOU DO ANYWAY…
I LOVED LIKE I NEVER LOVED BUT THERE’S NO GETTING THROUGH,
I CAN HOLD YOU BUT CAN’T TOUCH YOU, I CAN KISS YOU BUT NOT YOU…
AND ALL SHE EVER WANTED, WAS THE LOVE SHE NEVER HAD,
THAT’S WHY I HAD TO LET HER…
TURN THE GOOD IN ME BAD… TURN THE GOOD IN ME BAD…
JUST WHEN YOU THINK YOU MIGHT SURRENDER, TO HER DARK PLEASURE,
MEET HER UNDEFENDED, GET THAT PREDATOR ALONE,
YOU’D OFFER HER THE WORLD, MAYBE THAT’S ALL SHE EVER WANTED,
SHE’D SAY THERE’S ONLY ROOM FOR ONE, BACK IN HER JUNGLE HOME,
AND THERE’S A WAR GOING ON, I DO WHAT I HAVE TO TO SURVIVE,
I CHEAT AND I STEAL AND I FAKE IT AND I LIE,
AND AS LONG AS I’M STILL ACHING FROM ALL THE BEATINGS THAT I'VE HAD,
I’M ONLY EVER GONNA WANT TO,
TURN THE GOOD IN YOU BAD…TURN THE GOOD IN YOU BAD…
YOU KNOW SHE’S GONNA BEAT YOU, WHEN IT COMES TO SIN…
GONNA PULL OUT ALL THE TRICKS, JUST TO NEVER LET YOU IN…
AND YOU KNOW SHE’S MOSTLY CRAZY AND YOU KNOW IT’S GONNA END,
BUT EVERY TIME YOU TRY TO LEAVE HER, SHE’LL COME AROUND AGAIN..
HER HAIR WOULD DANCE IN THE WIND, SHE WOULD GAZE INTO YOUR EYES,
AND REMIND YOU OF THE LOVE YOU FELT WHEN YOU WERE A CHILD…
BUT SHE CAN’T HELP HERSELF AND ALTHOUGH IT MAKES HER SAD,
SHE NEEDS TO SEE THE WORST IN YOU, SHE NEEDS…
TO TURN THE GOOD IN YOU BAD..
TURN THE GOOD IN YOU BAD…
SHE’S THE LOVE I’LL NEVER HAVE…
SHE TURNED THE GOOD IN ME BAD…………
