A long, long time ago
When I had steam to blow
And no one to tell me "no"
Well, I just let it go
But two wrongs don't make a right
So don't you leave tonight
Try to see it in a different light
'Cause it's alright

Ann Marie, be good to me
Don't let my past keep haunting me
What's been done, together we can both undo
Set at ease sad memories
And tears will just be history
Ann Marie, be good to me and I'll be good to you

I was bad and I did it good
Number one in the neighborhood
Always got it when I said that I would
And now they're telling you the stories
But even you, no doubt
Have done things we both could live without
Sooner or later, baby
It all comes out

Ann Marie, be good to me
Don't let my past keep haunting me
What's been done, together we can both undo
Set at ease sad memories
And tears will just be history
Ann Marie, be good to me and I'll be good to you
It doesn't take much at all to see
That the man in me
Is no stranger to the ladies
You haven't been the only one
And maybe I've hit and run
But I'm overdue for someone like you

Ann Marie, be good to me
Don't let my past keep haunting me
'Cause what's been done, together we can both undo
Set at ease sad memories
And tears will just be history
Ann Marie, be good to me and I'll be good to you

Whoa, Ann Marie, be good to me
And we'll be happy as can be
Yesterday is over and today is new
Once we ease sad memories
Oh, tears will just be history
Ann Marie, be good to me and I'll be good to you
I'll be good to you
