Look what you've done
You made a fool out of someone
Who thought love was true
And found out that you we're just having fun, oh, yeah
Oh, why do you wanna make me blue
After all, I've been good to you
(I've been good to you)
Oh, yes I have
Woah, I recall the time
You needed someone and I made you mine
You needed a friend
So I took you in and treated you so kind, oh, yeah
Oh, why do you wanna make me blue
After all, I've been good to you
(I've been good to you)
Oh
I have always been around
And I never, never, never let you down
And now you're telling me that you must go
You know that you're hurting me so
But there come a time
One day, one day, one day, one day, one day you gonna wake up and find
You'll come back to me on your bending knees
And you're gonna be crying
Oh, believe me, what I say is true
After all, lord I've been good to you
(I've been good to you) oh yes I have
I've been good, I've been good, I've been good (I've been good to you)
Everyday
I've been good, I've been good, I've been good (I've been good to you)
