Be Good, Be True
And I saw everything I needed toAnd I heard nothing that I wanted toAnd everything you said to meDespite my doubts, I tried to believeYou tell me when to run awayBut then you leave me all alone againWhat I felt back then isn't true tonightAnd what you said to me doesn't make it rightSo if I don't seem genuine to youThen maybe you should try to be good, be trueBe good, be trueAnd I said everything I should to youAnd I kept quiet when I wanted toSpeak up, speak upBut never will I have to bite my tongue or fake a smile anymoreYou tell me when to run awayBut then you leave me all alone againWhat I felt back then isn't true tonightAnd what you said to me doesn't make it rightSo if I don't seem genuine to youThen maybe you should try to be good, be trueBe good, be trueSongtexteYou left me standing there that nightA pen in hand I'd used to write you a letterThat would be my voice that you refused to hearSo take these as my parting words, and sing to them, my dearWhat I felt back then isn't true tonightAnd what you said to me doesn't make it rightSo if I don't seem genuine to youThen maybe you should try to be good, be trueBe good, be true Aus Songtexte Mania
