Larry Norman - Why Can't You Be Good lyrics

Why can't you behave? Why can't you be good? You don't even try To do the things you should What is the reason? I'd like to know Why you can't be good You go into the bedroom You say you gotta powder your nose But the powder is c**aine I see traces on your clothes What is the reason? I'd like to know Why you can't be good Take another look inside your dreams tonight When you go to sleep Try and find the reasons why you've lost your way Like some little sheep You say that you love me That that your heart is true But you've got so many other loves What am I s'posed to do? What is the reason? I'd like to know Why you can't be good Take another look inside your dreams tonight When you go to sleep Try and find the reasons why you've lost your way Like some little sheep Your face looks so pretty But your mind is such a mess You got a cold and wicked heart that's lurkin' Underneath your breast What is the reason? I'd like to know What is the reason? I'd like to know What is the reason? I'd like to know Why you can't be good Why can't you be good? Why can't you be good, baby? You know you break my heart
