Why Can't I Be Good
Why can't I be good Why can't I act like a man Why can't I be good And do what other men can Why can't I be good Make something of this life If I can't be a god Let me be more than a wife Why can't I be good Why can't I be good Why can't I be good Why can't I be good I don't want to be weak I want to be strong Not a fat happy weakling With two useless arms A mouth that keeps moving With nothing to say An eternal baby Who never moved away Why can't I be good Why can't I be good Why can't I be good Letras de cancionesWhy can't I be good I'd like to look in the mirror With a feeling of pride Instead of seeing a reflection Of failure a crime I don't want to turn away To make sure I cannot see I don't want to hold my ears When I think about me Why can't I be good Why can't I be good Why can't I be good Why can't I be good I want to be like the wind When it uproots a tree Carries it across an ocean To plant in a valley I want to be like the sun That makes it flourish and grow I don't want to be What I am anymore Why can't I be good Why can't I be good Why can't I be good Why can't I be good I was thinking of some kind of whacked out syncopation That would help improve this song Some knock 'em down rhythm That would help it move along Some rhyme of pure perfection A beat so hard and strong If I can't get it right this time Will a next time come along Why can't I be good why can't I be good Why can't I be good Why can't I be good From Letras Mania
