Be Good or Be Gone
Lyrics
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 chance 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're 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're gonna find yourself, by yourself
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 chance 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're 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're gonna find yourself, by yourself
