A prisoner of your love 
Entangled in your web 
Hot whispers in the night 
I'm captured by your spell 
Oh yes I'm touched by this show of emotion 
Should I be fractured by your lack of devotion 
Should I, should I? 

You better be good to me 
That's how it's gotta be now 
Cause I don't have no use 
For what you loosely call the truth 
You better be good to me 

I think it's also right 
That we don't need to fight 
We stand face to face 
And you present your case 
And I know you keep telling me that you love me 
And I really do want to believe 
But did you think I'd just accept you in blind faith 
Oh sure babe, anything to please you 

You better be good to me 
That's how it's gotta be now 
Cause I don't have the time 
For your over loaded lines 
You better be good to me 

And I really don't see why it's so hard to be good to me 
And I don't understand what's your plan that you can't be good to me 
What I can't feel I surely cannot see, why can't you be good to me 
And if it's not real I do not wish to see, why can't you be good to me
