Lou Rawls – Let Me Be Good To You lyrics

Why don't you let me be good to you.

Why don't you let me be good to you.

Every time I see you, you look so fine.
I wonder what kind of things are going on your mind.

Why can't you...
Why can't we get together sometime
So I can be good to you.
(Let me, let me, let me, let me, let me be good to you.)
I want to be good to you.

I can see it in your eyes,
You've been hurt real bad.
You've given up on love.
You're living in the past.

Why don't you give me a chance to ease your mind
So I can be good to you.
(Let me, let me, let me, let me, let me be good to you.)
I want to be good to you.

'Cause I know what you want
Yes, and I know what you need.
(The same things I do.) You need the same things I do,
'Cause I've been hurt many times just like you.
Let me be good to you.

(Let me, let me, let me, let me, let me be good to you.)
Let me be good to you.
While I'm being good to you, baby,
(Let me, let me, let me, let me, let me be good to you.)
I want you to be good to me.
Let me take care of your problems.
(Let me, let me, let me, let me, let me be good to you.)
I just wanna be good to you.

Come let me hold you.
Let's talk things out.
Please let me help you erase all of your doubts.

Why don't you...(Uh...uh)
Why don't we get together tonight
So I can be good to you.
(Let me, let me, let me, let me, let me be good to you.)
I want to be good to you.

'Cause I know what you want
Yes, and I know what you need.
(The same things I do.) You need the same things I do,
'Cause I've been hurt many times just like you.
I wanna be good to you.

(Let me, let me, let me, let me, let me be good to you.)
Let me be good to you.
(Why don't you let me be good to you.)
While I'm being good to you, baby,
I want you to be good to me.
We can help each other, baby.
(Let me, let me, let me, let me, let me be good to you.)
Just let me be good to you.
(Why don't you let me be good to you.)
We've got a long way to go.
Why don't you let me be good to you.
Let's always stay together
(Let me, let me, let me, let me, let me be good to you.)
And let me be good to you. Well.
Why don't you...

You know what I was thinking today?
You wanna do something different tonight.
Why don't you come over to my place.
Let me put on some dinner for us.
Get us a couple bottles of wine.
Then I can just rub your shoulders and ease your tensions and your nerves from the day.
As a matter of fact, I'll even take off your shoes and rub your feet,'cause I know you've been on them all day and you're tired and they're hot.
So listen, tell you what to do, after you get home, you know, you get yourself cooled down, take a nice warm bath, get all relaxed and refreshed and come on over and let me...ease the evening for you.

Why don't you let me be good to you.
Let me be good to you.

After we have dinner, maybe we can go catch a late show or maybe we can stay at the place and watch a late night TV movie. Yeah.

(Why don't you let me be good to you.)
Let me be good to you.
Let me be good to you. (Let me be good to you.)
I want you to be good to me.
Let me be good, good, good. (Let me be good to you.)
Let me be good to you. Well.
Let me be good to you.
