Better Be Good to Me

Lyrics

[Verse 1] When a truly modest maid Is a lovely little jade Then morality's an awful strain on appetite I respect your stainless youth But to tell the simple truth I could put your form between my arms and wrap it tight But I must hold back And just hold back The things I'd die to do This yearning youth Is burning youth For you [Chorus] How long will this last? Can't you work fast? Fever like this can't be Better be good to me I'm so pale and thin Better give in Love is what makes me ache Hold me or else I'll break Like a shadow I fade away I was once a glad girl Something tеlls me you soon will say She was not a bad girl This has got to stop Maybe I'll pop Lovе is like TNT Better be good to me [Verse 2] When a youth by any chance Has a devastating glance Then the proper thing seems rather puritanical Saintly hands would like to clasp What a naughty hand would grasp Yet around each wrist my bracelet is a manacle When my calf-like eyes Can't laugh like eyes That shine away in joy In lonely want I only want My boy [Chorus] How long will this last? Can't you work fast? Fever like this can't be Better be good to me I'm so pale and thin Better give in Love is what makes me ache Hold me or else I'll break Like a shadow I fade away I was once a glad girl Something tells me you soon will say She was not a bad girl This has got to stop Maybe I'll pop Love is like TNT Better be good to me
