Just Be Good to Me
Love's Defiance: Embracing the Unspoken Bonds
Lyrics
Friends tell me I am crazy
Friends criticize my actions, considering them irrational
That I'm wasting time with you
Suggestions that spending time with you is a waste
You'll never be mine
They believe a relationship with you won't happen
That's not the way I see it
Disagreement with their perspective, feeling a connection with you
'Cause I feel you're already mine
Emotional sense of possession, feeling like you're already mine
Whenever you're with me
Feeling your presence strongly whenever you're around
People always talk about, reputation
Public opinion often focuses on your reputation
I don't care what you do to them
Indifference to others' opinions, emphasis on your treatment of me
Just be good to me
Request for you to treat me well despite what others say
Friends are always tellin' me you're a user
Concerns from friends about your intentions in our relationship
I don't care 'bout your other girls
Disregard for your involvement with other women
Just be good to me
Emphasis on the need for you to treat me with kindness
You may have many others
Awareness of other potential partners you may have
But I know when you're with me
Feeling of exclusivity when you're with me
You are all mine
Belief that your attention belongs solely to me in those moments
Friends seem to always listen
Friends tend to focus on your negative actions
To the bad things that you do
Refusal to believe you'll treat me poorly like they assume
You'll never do that to me, oh no
Confidence in not becoming a victim of your negative behavior
People always talk about, reputation
Continued talk about your reputation in society
I don't care what you do to them
Emphasis on personal treatment rather than public perception
Just be good to me
Reiteration of the plea for you to treat me well despite opinions
Friends are always tellin' me you're a user
Repeated concerns from friends about your motives
I don't care 'bout your other girls
Repeated disregard for your involvement with others, focusing on my treatment
Just be good to me
Repeated emphasis on the need for you to treat me kindly
Life is a game of chances
Life involves risks, willing to take a chance on our relationship
So I'll take my chance with you
Commitment to taking a chance on you, not attempting to change you
And you I won't try to change
Acceptance of your true nature without trying to alter it
We talk about it and I'd
Discussion about preferring a part of you over having nothing at all
Rather have a piece of you
Prefer to have a portion of you than nothing from you
Than to have all of nothing
Choosing to accept less rather than losing everything
So just be good to me in the morning time
Requesting kindness and care from you in the morning
Just be good to me, in the afternoon or evening
Requesting kindness and care at different times of the day
Just be good to me
Consistent plea for your kindness and care
I'm not the jealous type I won't let you down
Asserting lack of jealousy, promising not to disappoint you
When you need me, I'll be around
Promising availability and support when needed
I'll be good to you, you'll be good to me
Mutual commitment to being good to each other
We will be together, be together
Expressing a desire to stay together
I'm not the jealous type I won't let you down
Reiteration of lack of jealousy and commitment to support
When you need me, I'll be around
Reiteration of availability and commitment to being good to each other
I'll be good to you, you'll be good to me
Reiteration of mutual commitment to staying together
We will be together, be together
