[Verse 1]
"Be good, be good," you said, my baby
Don't you, do you see that I'm tryin'?
It can be tough when things keep changin'
One day I'm there and then I'm not

[Chorus]
How can I explain myself
When I can hardly control it well?
Do I need time? Do I need a savior?
Will I ever know good behavior?

[Verse 2]
I think I want to be better
Better than you and all the rest
I don't think that's quite possible, oh
Let's all just try and be our best

[Chorus]
How can I explain myself
When I can hardly control it well?
Do I need time? Do I need a savior?
Will I ever know good behavior?
Will I ever know good behavior?
Will I ever know good behavior?
Will I ever know good behavior?
[Outro]
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah
