Lyrics for Why Cant I Be Good by Lou Reed:
| | | Artist: | Lou Reed |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Why Cant I Be Good | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 70 | | | | Lyrics: | Why can't I be good
Why can't I act like a man
Why can't I be good
And do what other men
can
Why can't I be good
Make something of this life
If I can't be a god
Let me be
more than a wife
Why can't I be good
Why can't I be good
Why can't I be
good
Why can't I be good
I don't want to be weak
I want to be strong
Not a fat
happy weakling
With two useless arms
A mouth that keeps moving
With nothing to
say
An eternal baby
Who never moved away
Why can't I be good
Why can't I be
good
Why can't I be good
Why can't I be good
I'd like to look in the
mirror
With a feeling of pride
Instead of seeing a reflection
Of failure a crime
I
don't want to turn away
To make sure I cannot see
I don't want to hold my ears
When I
think about me
Why can't I be good
Why can't I be good
Why can't I be good
Why
can't I be good
I want to be like the wind
When it uproots a tree
Carries it across
an ocean
To plant in a valley
I want to be like the sun
That makes it flourish and
grow
I don't want to be
What I am anymore
Why can't I be good
Why can't I be
good
Why can't I be good
Why can't I be good
I was thinking of some kind of whacked
out syncopation
That would help improve this song
Some knock 'em down rhythm
That would
help it move along
Some rhyme of pure perfection
A beat so hard and strong
If I can't
get it right this time
Will a next time come along
Why can't I be good
why can't I
be good
Why can't I be good
Why can't I be good-aca | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
