I just wanna be as good as you are (you are)
I just wanna be as good as you are good
I tried to be better and I tried to do good
But I still don't like to read all those spiritual books

Don't go questionin' it
Baby I've got you
I've got you
All up in my mind and it's like

If you're questionin' it
I might me worth it
Though I'm not perfect
At least I try

Oh, I know
I've still got years to go

I just wanna be as good as you are (you are)
I just wanna be as good as you are good
I try to be better and I try to do good
But I still don't like to read all those spiritual books

I try to emulate but I sometimes lose my mind
Oh baby I see you always trying to be kind
I try to emulate but I sometimes lose my mind
(I sometimes lose my mind)

Oh, I know
I've still got years to go

I just wanna be as good as you are (you are)
I just wanna be as good as you are good
I tried to be better and I tried to do good
I tried to be better and I tried to do good
(I just wanna be as good as you are good)
I tried to be better and I tried to do good
(I just wanna be as good as you are good)
But I still don't like to read all those spiritual books
